Churchill Northern Studies Centre research support enhancement

丘吉尔北方研究中心(CNSC)为参与北方研究的研究人员提供广泛支持。国家科学研究中心开展的研究活动包括北方林业和生物学、冻土带研究、气候变化、淡水质量、极光研究、北方生态学和野生动物管理。25年来，CNSC一直是中国最容易接近的以北方为重点的研究中心之一。它位于地理上独特的位置，在许多主要生态区的交汇处，并毗邻北方海洋环境。因此，它能够并确实支持一系列非常广泛的研究项目，而国家科学委员会过去支持的研究范围就证明了这一事实。促进更多的全年接触国家科学委员会，并使更广泛的现场研究和分析能够在国家科学中心进行，这将极大地增加来自加拿大各地的科学家的研究机会。这项提议旨在通过加强现有基础设施，促进国家科学中心全年更多的访问和内部研究和分析。全年进行世界级和专门研究(如极光和气候变化研究)的机会和丘吉尔设施可支持的研究范围处于历史最高水平；因此，必须充分利用丘吉尔设施提供的独特地理优势。

The Churchill Northern Studies Centre (CNSC) provides extensive support to researchers involved in northern research. Research activities undertaken from and at the CNSC include boreal forestry and biology, tundra studies, climate change, freshwater quality, auroral research, northern ecology, and wildlife management. For over 25 years the CNSC has served as one of the most accessible northern-focused research centres in  the country. It is located in a geographically unique location, at the confluence of a number of major ecoregions, and adjacent to a boreal marine environment. Thus it can, and does, support a very broad array of research projects, and the scope of research that the CNSC has supported in the past attests to this fact. Facilitating more year-round access to the CNSC, and enabling a wider range of on-site research and analysis to be conducted at the CNSC would greatly enhance research opportunities for scientists from across Canada. This proposal is designed to facilitate greater year-round access and in-house research and analysis at CNSC through enhancements of the existing infrastructure. Opportunities for year-round world-class and specialized research (such as auroral and climate change research) and the scope of supportable research at the Churchill facility are at an all-time high; consequently, the unique geographic advantage that the Churchill facility provides must be fully exploited.
