The objective of the Canada Research Chair in Aquatic Environmental Genomics is to investigate the diversity, ecology and biogeochemical functioning of microbial communities in subsurface aquifer ecosystems, based on molecular (genomics and metagenomics) and complementary culture approaches. The proposed research will provide an integrative broad-scale analyses of microbial communities in aquifer ecosystems, greatly expanding our understanding of microbial structure and metabolisms in subsurface habitats. The research program will be fundamental in linking surface aquatic environments, supplying aquifer systems, with subsurface ecosystems, and will be important in understanding how subsurface communities respond to fluctuations in surface conditions.*

加拿大水生环境基因组学研究主席的目标是，根据分子（基因组学和宏基因组学）和互补培养方法，调查地下含水层生态系统中微生物群落的多样性、生态和生物地球化学功能。拟议的研究将提供一个综合的大规模分析含水层生态系统中的微生物群落，大大扩大了我们的理解微生物结构和代谢在地下栖息地。该研究计划将是连接地表水生环境，供应含水层系统，地下生态系统的基础，并将在了解地下社区如何应对地表条件的波动很重要。
