Canada Research Chair in Stressed Aquatic Systems

在强调水生系统的一级CRC带来了劳伦特大学的能力，以满足其使命声明清洁水现在和永远，以及其在环境科学的战略研究目标，通过旨在保护和恢复北方盾水生生态系统的研究。这些目标认识到劳伦特人位于加拿大最大的生态区北方盾中心附近的重要性，北方盾包含了我们的大部分淡水，也包含了我们大部分的矿产资源。 Laurentian渴望被公认为世界领先的矿业研究学校，其CRC职位专注于采矿周期的重要方面，涉及保护和恢复有价值的生态系统服务（例如清洁水，鱼类安全消费）。 冈斯基础研究也旨在增加我们对流域过程在恢复不同类型的干扰（如虫害，气候变化）的作用的理解，因为工业发展延伸到北方流域。

The Tier 1 CRC in Stressed Aquatic Systems brings to Laurentian University the ability to meet its mission statement Clean Water Now and Forever as well as its strategic research goals in Environmental Science, through research designed to protect and restore Boreal Shield aquatic ecosystems. These goals recognize the significance of Laurentians location near the center of the Boreal Shield, Canadas largest ecozone, containing much of our freshwater but also an area containing most of our mineral resources. Laurentian aspires to be recognized as the leading mining research school in the world with a CRC position focussed on essential aspects of the mining cycle dealing with protection and restoration of valued ecosystem services (e.g. clean water, fish safe for consumption). Dr. Gunns fundamental research is also designed to increase our understanding of the role of watershed processes in recovery for different types of disturbance (e.g. insect infestations, climate change) as industrial development extends into northern watersheds.
