NSERC CREATE for Enhancing Canada's Prosperity through Innovative Environmental Assessment, Monitoring and Management

NSERC Create Program：通过创新的环境评估、监测和管理提升加拿大的繁荣，该计划以“环境科学和技术”优先领域为目标，将培训下一代自然资源顾问、管理者、土地利用规划者和政策制定者，使他们“做好市场准备”，以提高加拿大作为一个在保持严格环境标准的同时高效开发自然资源的国家的竞争地位和声誉。CREATE毕业生将接受环境科学(包括保护、野生动物管理、水生生态学、陆地生态学、林业、生物多样性、环境污染物)的核心培训和论文工作，但将通过共同申请者之间的持续合作研究，从事联系数学、物理科学、计算机科学、经济学、商业、法律、卫生科学和文化研究的跨学科科学。该项目将在麦吉尔大学和艾伯塔大学设立节点，重点关注以工业强度梯度为特征的北部地区，从阿尔伯塔省北部的油砂和商业森林到努纳武特的早期矿产勘探和矿山开发。

The NSERC CREATE Program: Enhancing Canada's Prosperity through Innovative Environmental Assessment, Monitoring and Management program targets the "Environmental Science and Technologies" priority area and will train the next generation of natural resource consultants, managers, landuse planners, and policy makers so they are "market-ready" to enhance Canada's competitive position and reputation as a country that efficiently develops its natural resources while maintaining rigorous environmental standards. CREATE graduates will have their core training and thesis work in environmental sciences (including conservation, wildlife management, aquatic ecology, terrestrial ecology, forestry, biodiversity, environmental contaminants) but will engage in interdisciplinary science linking mathematics, physical sciences, computer science, economics, business, law, health sciences, and cultural studies through ongoing collaborative research among the co-applicants. The program will have nodes at McGill University and the University of Alberta, and will focus on northern regions characterized by a gradient of industrial intensity, from the oil sands and commercial forests of northern Alberta to early-phase mineral exploration and mine development in Nunavut.
