NSERC CREATE Training Program in Artic Atmostphere Science

拟议的CREATE培训方案将培养在北极大气科学以及使用最先进的仪器和大型数据集分析方面具有专门知识的人员。它将利用位于北极高地(北纬80度，西经86度)努纳武特尤里卡的极地环境大气研究实验室(PEAR)的独特能力。PEAR由加拿大大气变化检测网络(CANDAC)建立，致力于解决与空气质量、臭氧和气候变化相关的问题。该设施拥有超过25台仪器，用于对从地面到100公里的大气进行全面测量。根据该计划资助的学生将受益于加拿大在珀尔的巨额投资(超过2000万美元)；他们将获得世界级的设施、独特的数据集和具有广泛专业知识的大型研究团队。该方案的研究和培训活动与联邦政府的两个优先领域直接相关：环境科学和技术以及自然资源和能源[次优先北极(资源生产、气候变化适应、监测)]。 培训计划包括正式和非正式指导、交流计划、年度暑期学校、年度研究研讨会、本科生暑期实习计划、合作教育计划和产业伙伴计划。培训计划的最终目标是显著增加对极地、大气和气候科学感兴趣的年轻研究人员的教育机会，使他们能够建立合作和网络，并发展研究、技术、通信和组织技能。这些技能将使他们成为环境科学和政策领域学术、政府和行业职位的优秀候选人。这些技能可以很容易地转移到其他领域，从而提高加拿大的竞争力。

The proposed CREATE Training Program will produce personnel with expertise in Arctic atmospheric science and in the use of state-of-the-art instrumentation and analysis of large data sets. It will take advantage of the unique capabilities of the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL) located at Eureka, Nunavut in the High Arctic (80N, 86W). PEARL has been established by the Canadian Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Change (CANDAC), which is dedicated to addressing issues related to air quality, ozone and climate change. The facility is home to more than 25 instruments that are being used to make comprehensive measurements of the atmosphere from the ground to 100 km. The students supported under this Program will benefit from the significant investment (more than $20M) that Canada has made in PEARL; they will have access to a world-class facility, unique data sets, and a large team of researchers with a breadth of expertise. The research and training activities of the Program are directly relevant to two of the Federal Government's priority areas: environmental science and technology, and natural resources and energy [subpriority Arctic (resource production, climate change adaptation, monitoring)]. The Training Program includes formal and informal supervision, an Exchange Program, an Annual Summer School, an Annual Research Symposium, an Undergraduate Summer Internship Program, a Co-operative Education Program, and an Industrial Partnership Program. The ultimate goal of the Training Program is to significantly enhance the educational opportunities available to young researchers interested in polar, atmospheric, and climate sciences, enabling them to build collaborations and networks, and to develop research, technical, communications, and organizational skills. Such skills will make them excellent candidates for employment in academic, government, and industrial positions in environmental science and policy. These skills are readily transferable to other areas, and will thus increase Canada's competitive ability.
