Canada Research Chair In Stressed Aquatic Systems

压力水生系统的一级CRC为劳伦森大学带来了实现其使命宣言“现在和永远的清洁水”以及环境科学战略研究目标的能力，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森靠近加拿大最大的生态区北方盾中心的位置的重要性，它包含了我们大部分的淡水资源，也包含了我们大部分的矿产资源。劳伦森渴望成为世界上领先的采矿研究学校，其CRC地位侧重于采矿周期的基本方面，涉及有价值的生态系统服务的保护和恢复（例如清洁的水，可供消费的安全鱼类）。Gunn博士的基础研究还旨在增加我们对流域过程在工业发展延伸到北部流域的不同类型干扰（如虫害，气候变化）恢复中的作用的理解。

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 Laurentian¿s location near the center of the Boreal Shield, Canada¿s 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. Gunn¿s 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.
