Sentinel North

北极和亚北极地区是加拿大新的发现和机遇的前沿。在加速气候变化和社会经济发展的背景下，Sentinel North将开发和部署创新的光学-光子学技术(玻璃材料、成像系统、光谱学、远程传感器)，以在现场和随着时间的推移，感知耦合的人-环境系统的关键变量。这一跨部门倡议旨在了解正在进行的变化如何影响生态系统服务、基础设施以及心脏代谢和大脑健康。北方哨兵将建设加拿大的能力，以监测北方从微生物区系到生态系统的所有规模的转变，朝着可持续发展和健康的新诊断模式和干预战略迈进。

Arctic and Subarctic regions are Canada’s new frontiers of discovery and opportunity. In the context of accelerating climate change and socioeconomic development, Sentinel North will develop and deploy innovative optics-photonics technologies (glassy materials, imaging systems, spectroscopy, remote sensors) to sense, in situ and over time, critical variables of the coupled human-environment system. This trans-sector initiative aims to understand how ongoing changes affect ecosystem services, infrastructure, and cardiometabolic and brain health. Sentinel North will build Canada’s capacity to monitor the transformation of the North at all scales, from microbiota to ecosystems, towards new diagnostic models and intervention strategies for sustainable development and health.
