Dr. Mark Mallorys research program at Acadia University focuses on the environmental health of coastlines from Arctic and Maritime Canada, with particular attention on the connectivity between terrestrial and marine habitats. Marine birds, excellent indicators of environmental health, are the focal research group, and provide insights into the effects of contaminants (like mercury and plastics), climate change and human activities on our wild places. The research program is highly collaborative, involving universities, governments and industry, and there are strong linkages with international researchers. These research activities are key to meeting many of Canadas research and monitoring obligations, most notably in the Arctic.

阿卡迪亚大学的Mark Mallorys博士的研究项目侧重于北极和加拿大海岸线的环境健康，特别关注陆地和海洋栖息地之间的连通性。海洋鸟类是环境健康的优秀指标，是重点研究小组，它们提供有关污染物(如汞和塑料)、气候变化和人类活动对我们野生环境的影响的见解。该研究项目具有高度的协作性，涉及大学、政府和行业，并与国际研究人员有很强的联系。这些研究活动是履行加拿大许多研究和监测义务的关键，尤其是在北极。
