CREATE in Marine Geodynamics and Georesources (iMAGE)

向不断增长的全球人口供应能源和矿产资源是未来的一大挑战。为了找到可以安全开采的新资源，我们需要更好的地壳模型及其区域禀赋。更迫切的是，我们需要熟练的地球科学家，他们能够开发出这些模型，并将其应用于现实世界。对海洋板块构造的研究正在产生有关地壳起源及其蕴含资源的关键新知识。获取这种知识并将其应用于陆地上的资源发现需要一种新型的培训，将陆上地质学家和海洋科学家聚集在一起。我们正在与德国和其他欧洲机构合作，在海洋地球动力学和地球资源方面开发这一独特的培训方法。加拿大作为全球资源开发的领先者，德国拥有最先进的海洋基础设施，是实现这一目标的理想合作伙伴。来自加拿大的学员将参加史无前例的远洋研究机会，将海洋地质学、地球物理和地球化学结合起来，研究今天在海洋中形成的地壳。两批加拿大研究生和博士后实习生将与赫姆霍兹海洋研究中心和德国基尔其他机构主办的海外研究生实习生一起工作(总共67个总部基地)。他们将在专家的监督下参加团队项目和全球各地的探险，并访问国际海洋研究基础设施。我们的目标是让学生走出教室，让他们在海上和实地与世界领先的地球动力学和地球资源专家接触。在致力于自己的研究课题的同时，他们将参加研究巡航和测绘学校，并在加拿大和海外的合作中心提供的地球动力学强化课程和资源的支持下，接受海洋技术应用的实践培训。他们将通过国家和国际网络、专业技能发展以及与行业和其他利益攸关方的接触获得显著优势，为他们在自然资源和能源部门的一系列新职业做好准备。

The supply of energy and mineral resources to a growing global population is a major challenge for the future. To find new resources that can be exploited safely, we need better models of the Earth's crust and its regional endowment. More urgently, we need the skilled geoscientists who can develop those models and apply them in the real world. Critical new knowledge about the origins of the crust and its contained resources is emerging from the study of plate tectonics in the oceans. Acquiring this knowledge and applying it to resource discovery on land requires a new type of training that brings together land-based geologists and marine scientists. We are partnering with German and other European institutions to develop this unique training approach in a new CREATE on Marine Geodynamics and Georesources. Canada, as a global leader in resource development, and Germany, with its state-of-the-art marine infrastructure, are the ideal partners to achieve this goal. Trainees from Canada will participate in unprecedented sea-going research opportunities that combine marine geology, geophysics, and geochemistry to study the Earth's crust as it is forming today in the oceans. Two cohorts of Canadian graduate students and postdoctoral trainees will work together with graduate trainees overseas hosted by the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and other institutions in Germany (67 HQP in total). They will take part in team projects and expeditions around the globe, with expert supervision and access to international marine research infrastructure. Our goal is to take the students out of the classroom and engage them at sea and in the field with world-leading experts in geodynamics and georesources. While working on their own research topics, they will join research cruises and mapping schools and receive hands-on training in the application of marine technology, supported by intensive courses on geodynamics and resources delivered by collaborating centres in Canada and overseas. They will gain significant advantages through national and international networking, professional skills development and engagement with industry and other stakeholders, preparing them for a range of new careers in the Natural Resources and Energy sector.
