NSERC CREATE Training Program in Artic Atmostphere Science

拟议的CREATE培训计划将培养具有北极大气科学和使用最先进仪器和分析大型数据集方面专业知识的人员。它将利用极地环境大气研究实验室（PEARL）的独特能力，该实验室位于高北极（北纬80度，西经86度）努纳武特的尤里卡。PEARL是由加拿大大气变化探测网络（CANDAC）建立的，该网络致力于解决与空气质量、臭氧和气候变化有关的问题。该设施拥有超过25个仪器，用于对从地面到100公里的大气进行全面测量。该项目支持的学生将受益于加拿大在PEARL项目上的大量投资（超过2000万美元）；他们将有机会获得世界一流的设施，独特的数据集，以及具有广泛专业知识的大型研究团队。该方案的研究和培训活动与联邦政府的两个优先领域直接相关：环境科学和技术，以及自然资源和能源[次优先的北极（资源生产、气候变化适应、监测）]。

The proposed CREATE Training Program will produce personnel with expertise in Arctic atmospheric science and in the use of state-of-the-art instrumentation and analysis of large data sets. It will take advantage of the unique capabilities of the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL) located at Eureka, Nunavut in the High Arctic (80N, 86W). PEARL has been established by the Canadian Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Change (CANDAC), which is dedicated to addressing issues related to air quality, ozone and climate change. The facility is home to more than 25 instruments that are being used to make comprehensive measurements of the atmosphere from the ground to 100 km. The students supported under this Program will benefit from the significant investment (more than $20M) that Canada has made in PEARL; they will have access to a world-class facility, unique data sets, and a large team of researchers with a breadth of expertise. The research and training activities of the Program are directly relevant to two of the Federal Government's priority areas: environmental science and technology, and natural resources and energy [subpriority Arctic (resource production, climate change adaptation, monitoring)]. The Training Program includes formal and informal supervision, an Exchange Program, an Annual Summer School, an Annual Research Symposium, an Undergraduate Summer Internship Program, a Co-operative Education Program, and an Industrial Partnership Program. The ultimate goal of the Training Program is to significantly enhance the educational opportunities available to young researchers interested in polar, atmospheric, and climate sciences, enabling them to build collaborations and networks, and to develop research, technical, communications, and organizational skills. Such skills will make them excellent candidates for employment in academic, government, and industrial positions in environmental science and policy. These skills are readily transferable to other areas, and will thus increase Canada's competitive ability.
