The Canada Research Chair in Global Change Ecotoxicology seeks a second mandate. In its first mandate, it has published 54 articles and trained 70 HQPs and collaborated with more than 150 researchers here and abroad. The Chair is proposing a cutting-edge research program on the fate of contaminants in a changing environment, with a strong commitment to the co-production of knowledge with First Peoples of Canada, namely Atikamekw, Innu, Naskapi and Inuit communities, with the help of colleagues from natural and social sciences. The Chair will explicitly include research questions from the Indigenous communities in its research, will hire community members (guides, students), and will organize science camps where traditional and scientific knowledge will be transferred to youth. The proposed projects will principally focus on environmental issues linked to the mining of technology-critical elements such as rare earth and platinum group elements, for which there is insufficient data to derive robust environmental regulation, and on the environmental impacts of hydroelectricity, which is predicted to expand worldwide following the Paris Agreement. The Chair will also develop knowledge on how we can control exposure of humans to contaminants in food by choosing specific food preparation techniques. Key questions for the second mandate will be: 1) How is the mobility of contaminants affected by climate-related environmental changes? 2) How do priority contaminants bioaccumulate and move alone and in combination along food webs of changing aquatic systems? 3) How do changes in the diet of Indigenous communities affect their gastro-intestinal exposure to contaminants? 4) Which ecological remediation methods can be developed to attenuate the impact of contaminants in fragile northern systems and in southern agroecosystems? The Chairholder is well recognized nationally and internationally and has participated in UN and Arctic Council reports. He will ensure a swift transfer of knowledge to end users in Indigenous communities, industry, governments and academia. The Chair will extensively use EDI principles to create a welcoming, diverse and inclusive environment. Université de Montréal is providing an exceptional environment for the Chair, with its new Science complex, its state-of-the-art platform on emerging contaminants, its strong commitment to environment, sustainable development and Indigenous studies.

加拿大全球变化生态毒理学研究主席寻求第二个任务。在其第一个任务中，它发表了54篇文章，培训了70名HQP，并与国内外150多名研究人员合作。主席提出了一项关于污染物在不断变化的环境中的命运的尖端研究方案，并坚定地致力于与加拿大第一民族，即Atikamekw，Innu，Naskapi和Inuit社区，在自然科学和社会科学同事的帮助下共同生产知识。该教席将在其研究中明确纳入土著社区的研究问题，将雇用社区成员（导游、学生），并将组织科学营，向青年传授传统和科学知识。拟议的项目将主要侧重于与稀土和铂族元素等技术关键元素的开采有关的环境问题，因为没有足够的数据来制定强有力的环境监管，并侧重于水电的环境影响，预计在巴黎协定之后，水电将在世界范围内扩大。主席还将发展关于我们如何通过选择特定的食物制备技术来控制人类接触食物中污染物的知识。第二项任务的关键问题是：1）污染物的流动性如何受到与气候有关的环境变化的影响？2)优先污染物是如何生物累积的，以及如何单独或以组合方式沿着不断变化的水生系统的食物网移动的？3)土著社区饮食的变化如何影响他们的胃肠道接触污染物？4)可以开发哪些生态补救方法来减轻污染物对脆弱的北方系统和南方农业生态系统的影响？主席在国内和国际上都得到了很好的认可，并参与了联合国和北极理事会的报告。他将确保知识迅速转移到土著社区，工业，政府和学术界的最终用户。主席将广泛使用EDI原则，创造一个热情，多样和包容的环境。蒙特利尔大学为主席提供了一个特殊的环境，其新的科学综合体，其最先进的新兴污染物平台，其对环境，可持续发展和土著研究的坚定承诺。
