The proposed Canada Research Chair investigates factors regulating the transport of carbon and pollutants from the surface to the deep ocean in the Northwest Atlantic. The deep ocean takes up carbon generated by fossil fuel burning, and pollutants like oil or plastic are carried to the seafloor. Predicting the sequestration of carbon by the ocean and the distribution of pollutants like oil within the ocean, is an essential prerequisite to mediate anthropogenic impacts, like global change or oil spills. Research on the transport pathways of carbon and pollutants in the ocean is cutting edge and addresses a societal need.

拟议的加拿大研究主席调查西北大西洋碳和污染物从地表向深海运输的调节因素。深海吸收了化石燃料燃烧产生的碳，石油或塑料等污染物被带到海底。预测海洋的碳固存以及海洋中石油等污染物的分布，是调解全球变化或石油泄漏等人为影响的必要先决条件。关于海洋中碳和污染物的运输途径的研究是最前沿的，并解决了社会需求。
