IRCC in Boreal reclamation and reforestation

NAIT的北方森林研究中心（CBR）成立于1995年，是致力于加拿大北方森林利益和利益相关者的一流研究机构。CBR团队由一名主任和三名博士研究员领导。CBR位于埃德蒙顿西北500公里的和平河镇的一个研究中心，毗邻和平河油砂。加拿大的北方森林具有全球经济意义，包含木材资源，常规石油和天然气，以及地下和地面可开采的油砂。与此同时，由于石油和天然气、林业、公用事业和管道以及资源公路的累积效应，工业活动正在影响森林的生态完整性。NSERC北方开垦和再造林学院工业研究主席（IRCC）是石油和天然气公司，森林公司和中小型企业（sme）相互相关的技术和创新的催化剂。北方森林复垦和造林IRCC的Amanda Schoonmaker博士为石油和天然气公司以及包括森林公司在内的复垦中小企业提供实用的技术和方法，用于场地准备、北方植物物种的部署以及森林复垦的创新生命周期方法。自2011年加入CBR以来，Schoonmaker博士指导了30多名应用研究领域的学生。Schoonmaker博士促进了NAIT教师的研究，是与大学和政府科学家研究伙伴关系的焦点。Schoonmaker博士致力于通过提供技术说明、研讨会和实地考察，转移研究成果，培训行业人员和中小企业从业人员。

Founded in 1995, NAIT's Centre for Boreal Research (CBR) is a premiere research institute dedicated to theinterests and stakeholders of Canada's Boreal forest. The CBR team is led by a Director and three PhDresearchers. CBR is housed in a research complex in the town of Peace River, 500 km northwest of Edmontonand adjacent to the Peace River Oil Sands.Canada's Boreal forest is of global economic significance, containing timber resources, conventional oil andgas, and in situ and surface mineable oil sands. At the same time, industry activity is impacting the ecologicalintegrity of the forest due to the cumulative effects of oil and gas, forestry, utility and pipelines, and resourceroads.The NSERC Industrial Research Chair for Colleges (IRCC) in Boreal Reclamation and Reforestation is acatalyst for technologies and innovation of mutual relevance for oil & gas companies, forest companies, andsmall to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Dr. Amanda Schoonmaker, IRCC in Boreal Reclamation andReforestation, provides oil and gas companies and reclamation SMEs, including forest companies, withpractical techniques and methods for site preparation, deployment of Boreal plant species, and innovativelife-cycle approaches to forest reclamation. Since joining CBR in 2011, Dr. Schoonmaker has mentored over30 students in applied research field operations. Dr. Schoonmaker facilitates NAIT faculty research and is afocal point for research partnerships with university and government scientists. Dr Schoonmaker is committedto the transfer of research findings and the training of industry personnel and SME practitioners through thedelivery of technical notes, seminars, and field tours.
