Canada was a proactive participant in developing the Paris Accord (COP 21; December, 2015), and committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30%...

As more and more data about mining complex operations is collected and stored, it becomes increasingly important for computer systems to help human operators...

The mining value chain comprises many inter-related components, from mines to transportation, to customers. When the individual components are optimized sep...

We analyze the effect of non-constant discounting on economic growth and social welfare in an endogenous growth model with pollution externalities. For ti...

Climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges facing our planet in the foreseeable future, yet, despite international environmental agreemen...

This note revisits the problem of how to select an equilibrium in a differential game in the case of multiplicity of Nash equilibria. Most of the previous ap...

This study presents a production scheduling optimization method for a mining complex, which provides a flexible long-term plan for future investments and ope...

Cet article analyse l'effet stratégique d'investir en adaptation dans un jeu dynamique de pollution transfrontalière à horizon fini. Nous intégrons l'adaptat...

La Programmation Dynamique Stochastique (PDS) est une puissante méthode applicable aux problèmes mutli-étapes non-convexes et stochastiques. Nous étudions ...

The calibration of hydrological models is here formulated as a Blackbox optimization problem where the only information available to the optimization algorit...

On propose un mécanisme pour favoriser la récupération et la réutilisation de produits en fin de vie pour diminuer la pollution causée par la production de n...

In this paper, we evaluate the competitiveness of electric commercial vehicle (ECV) in medium-duty mid-haul logistics for a specific case study. This is done...

Management and storage of waste and tailings are critical concerns in open pit mining, especially when the available space is limited but also to reduce the ...

Long-term open pit mine scheduling is generally assessed with a mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation which can be solved with different operations res...

We consider a static team problem in which agents observe correlated Gaussian observations and seek to minimize a quadratic cost. It is assumed that the ob...

Cet article propose un modèle de planification hiérarchique capable d’effectuer de manière systématique le lien entre les exigences opérationnelles et de...

Un produit dont la possession induit une désutilité à son propriétaire est appelé une mauvaise commodité (par exemple des déchets). Cet article s’intéresse ...

This paper proposes a multi-stage stochastic programming formulation based on affine decision rules for the reservoir management problem. Our approach seeks ...

The main objective of this paper is to explore deep decarbonization pathways for the Canadian energy sector that would allow Canada to participate in global ...

Dans cet article, nous passons en revue la littérature appliquant la théorie de viabilité à la gestion durable de ressources renouvelables. Après un bref rap...
