Training toward Environmentally Responsible Resource Extraction

加拿大拥有丰富的自然资源，如煤、石油、基本金属和贵金属。这些被开采的资源为21世纪的经济提供了基石，但以一种环境可持续的方式开采它们提出了巨大的技术挑战。为了应对这一挑战，HQP必须深刻理解矿业开发所面临的物理、化学、地质、生态和社会问题。NSERC创建环境负责的资源开采培训（TERRE）计划将为资源部门的变革性职业培养杰出的科学和工程专业学生。受训者将获得前所未有的广泛课程和机会，包括整个矿山生命周期和以后的社会、经济和环境方面的考虑。实习，与行业合作研究，以及专家主导的矿山安全，通信，领导力和商业化研讨会，将确保TERRE毕业生具备立即产生专业影响的能力。总部设在滑铁卢大学，这一独特的培训计划汇集了一支经验丰富的研究人员、加拿大各地先进的研究设施以及来自资源部门的主要工业合作伙伴。该计划直接针对NSERC的自然资源和环境科学与技术优先领域。TERRE将培训新一代HQP，以开拓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。

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.
