The primary goal of the research project was to study the samples loaned to the school by Bernard Voyer, which he had brought back from the highest mountain on each continent: Aconcagua<\/a>, Kilimanjaro<\/a>, Everest<\/a>, Carstensz<\/a>, Elbrus<\/a>, McKinley<\/a> and Vinson<\/a>. A total of 17 laminae were described and subjected to chemical analyses. The samples were classified according to their composition and how they were formed, with impressive, internationally ground-breaking results.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Universit\u00e9 Laval \u2013 Basal metabolism <\/b><\/p>\n South Pole expedition<\/a> \u2013 Antarctica, 2004 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n Basal metabolism reaction under conditions of privation, subject to stress and extreme effort. Dr. Angelo Tremblay, of Universit\u00e9 Laval, was interested in Bernard Voyer\u2019s physiological reactions to the extreme conditions during his Antarctic expedition<\/a>. The findings of his exhaustive study of Mr. Voyer\u2019s basal metabolism confirmed the intuitions of the leading scientists in this field for the first time ever. The study was published in The New England Journal of Medicine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Centre d\u2019innovation technologique \u2013 Agro-alimentaire Cintech AA \u2013 Nutrition<\/b><\/p>\n South Pole expedition<\/a> \u2013 Antarctica, 1996<\/i> <\/i><\/p>\n The research study looking at the nutritional aspect of the South Pole expedition<\/a> concentrated on the ratio of carbohydrates, fats and protein in the daily diets of athletes performing under anaerobic conditions (11 hours of skiing a day) in extreme temperatures of -50\u00b0C for 65 days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al \u2013 Biology<\/b><\/p>\n South Pole expedition<\/a> \u2013 Antarctica, 1996<\/i><\/p>\n Pollen transport in Antarctic regions.
