Training toward Environmentally Responsible Resource Extraction

加拿大拥有丰富的自然资源，如煤炭、石油、贱金属和贵金属。这些已开采的资源是21世纪经济的基石，但以环境可持续的方式开采它们是一个巨大的技术挑战。要应对这一挑战，HQP需要对矿业发展面临的物理、化学、地质、生态和社会问题有深刻的了解。NSERC创建的面向环境负责的资源开采(TERRE)培训计划将为优秀的理工科学生在资源部门从事变革性的职业生涯做好准备。受训者将获得前所未有的广泛课程和机会，涵盖矿山一生及以后的各种社会、经济和环境考虑因素。在矿山安全、通信、领导力和商业化方面的实习、与行业的合作研究以及专家主导的研讨会将确保Terre毕业生具备立即产生专业影响的能力。这一独特的培训计划总部设在滑铁卢大学，汇集了一支由经验丰富的研究人员、加拿大各地的先进研究机构和资源行业的关键行业合作伙伴组成的杰出团队。该计划直接涉及NSERC的自然资源和环境科学技术等优先领域。TERRE将培训新一代HQP，开创保护环境质量的新标准和新技术。在他们的帮助下，加拿大可以引领世界走向对环境负责的资源开采。

Canada is blessed with abundant natural resources, such as coal, oil, and base and precious metals. These mined resources provide the bedrock of the 21st Century economy, but extracting them in an environmentally sustainable manner presents an enormous technical challenge. Meeting this challenge will require HQP with a deep understanding of the physical, chemical, geological, ecological and social issues confronting mining development. The NSERC CREATE for Training toward Environmentally Responsible Resource Extraction (TERRE) program will prepare exceptional science and engineering students for transformative careers in the resource sector. Trainees will access an unprecedented breadth of courses and opportunities, encompassing the spectrum of social, economic and environmental considerations throughout a mine's lifetime and beyond. Internships, collaborative research with industry, and expert-led workshops in mine safety, communications, leadership and commercialization, will ensure TERRE graduates are equipped for an immediate professional impact. Headquartered at the University of Waterloo, this unique training program brings together an outstanding team of experienced researchers, advanced research facilities across Canada, and key industrial partners from the resource sector. The program directly addresses NSERC's priority areas of natural resources and environmental science and technology. TERRE will train a new generation of HQP to pioneer new standards and technologies for protecting environmental quality. With their help, Canada can lead the world's drive towards environmentally responsible resource extraction.
