Human activities have modified the global cycles of nutrients and contaminants, and have disrupted ecosystem functions with consequences for the sustainability of these systems, and for human health. As a result, Canada is facing unprecedented environmental challenges linked to climate change and pollution, particularly in the developing North. The Chair will adopt a multidisciplinary approach that spans from environmental chemistry and ecology to health sciences. It will identify the governing biogeochemical principles by which contaminant and global change stressors will interact, and apply these principles to develop means to limit deleterious effects to ecosystem services and humans.

人类活动改变了营养物和污染物的全球循环，破坏了生态系统的功能，对这些系统的可持续性和人类健康产生了影响。因此，加拿大面临着与气候变化和污染有关的前所未有的环境挑战，特别是在发展中的北方。该主席将采用多学科方法，从环境化学和生态学到健康科学。它将确定污染物和全球变化压力源相互作用的主导地球化学原则，并应用这些原则制定限制对生态系统服务和人类有害影响的方法。
