Canada is blessed with abundant natural resources, such as coal, oil, and base and precious metals. These mined resources provide the bedrock of the 21st Century economy, but extracting them in an environmentally sustainable manner presents an enormous technical challenge. Meeting this challenge will require HQP with a deep understanding of the physical, chemical, geological, ecological and social issues confronting mining development. The NSERC CREATE for Training toward Environmentally Responsible Resource Extraction (TERRE) program will prepare exceptional science and engineering students for transformative careers in the resource sector. Trainees will access an unprecedented breadth of courses and opportunities, encompassing the spectrum of social, economic and environmental considerations throughout a mine's lifetime and beyond. Internships, collaborative research with industry, and expert-led workshops in mine safety, communications, leadership and commercialization, will ensure TERRE graduates are equipped for an immediate professional impact. Headquartered at the University of Waterloo, this unique training program brings together an outstanding team of experienced researchers, advanced research facilities across Canada, and key industrial partners from the resource sector. The program directly addresses NSERC's priority areas of natural resources and environmental science and technology. TERRE will train a new generation of HQP to pioneer new standards and technologies for protecting environmental quality. With their help, Canada can lead the world's drive towards environmentally responsible resource extraction.

加拿大拥有丰富的自然资源，如煤、石油、贱金属和贵金属。这些开采的资源为21世纪经济提供了基石，但以环境可持续的方式开采它们提出了巨大的技术挑战。世纪经济。迎接这一挑战将需要HQP对采矿发展所面临的物理，化学，地质，生态和社会问题有深刻的理解。NSERC CREATE for Training towards Environmentally Responsible Resource Extraction（TERRE）计划将为资源领域的变革性职业生涯准备优秀的科学和工程学生。受训人员将获得前所未有的课程和机会，涵盖整个矿山生命周期及以后的社会、经济和环境考虑。实习，与行业的合作研究，以及专家领导的矿山安全，通信，领导力和商业化研讨会，将确保TERRE毕业生能够立即产生专业影响。总部设在滑铁卢大学，这个独特的培训计划汇集了经验丰富的研究人员，加拿大各地的先进研究设施，以及来自资源部门的主要工业合作伙伴的优秀团队。该计划直接涉及NSERC的自然资源和环境科学技术的优先领域。TERRE将培训新一代的HQP，以开创保护环境质量的新标准和新技术。在他们的帮助下，加拿大可以引领世界走向对环境负责的资源开采。
