Mineral resources are critical to Canada's economic prosperity. Balancing the needs of industry, government and communities during resource extraction while maintaining the health of the environment remains a significant unresolved challenge. Dr. Wilson will develop new approaches to resource recovery that embed mine reclamation and environmental stewardship into mineral processing and waste management rather than separating these steps in the mining life cycle. Her work will provide a technological and societal advantage as well as forward our understanding of how small-scale interactions between minerals, microorganisms and fluids affect the evolution and health of both natural and mined landscapes.

矿产资源对加拿大的经济繁荣至关重要。在资源开采过程中平衡工业、政府和社区的需求，同时保持环境的健康，仍然是一个尚未解决的重大挑战。威尔逊博士将开发新的资源回收方法，将矿山复垦和环境管理纳入矿物加工和废物管理，而不是将这些步骤在采矿生命周期中分开。她的工作将提供技术和社会优势，并推动我们了解矿物，微生物和流体之间的小规模相互作用如何影响自然和采矿景观的演变和健康。
