Global change ecotoxicology

加拿大全球变化生态毒理学研究教席寻求第二项任务。在第一个任务中，它发表了54篇文章，培训了70名HQP，并与国内外150多名研究人员合作。主席正在提议一个关于不断变化的环境中污染物的命运的尖端研究计划，在来自自然和社会科学的同事的帮助下，坚定地致力于与加拿大原住民，即Atikamekw、Innu、Naskapi和Inuit社区共同创造知识。主席将明确将土著社区的研究问题纳入其研究，将雇用社区成员(导游、学生)，并将组织向青年传授传统科学知识的科学夏令营。拟议的项目将主要侧重于与开采稀土和铂族元素等技术关键元素有关的环境问题，对这些元素没有足够的数据来制定强有力的环境监管，以及水电的环境影响，预计在《巴黎协定》之后，水电将扩大到世界各地。主席还将发展关于我们如何通过选择特定的食物制备技术来控制人类接触食物中污染物的知识。第二项任务的关键问题将是：1)与气候有关的环境变化如何影响污染物的移动性？2)优先污染物如何在不断变化的水生系统的食物网中单独和组合地生物积累和移动？3)土著社区饮食的变化如何影响他们对污染物的胃肠道暴露？4)可以开发哪些生态修复方法来减轻污染物在脆弱的北部系统和南部农业生态系统中的影响？主席在国内和国际上都很受认可，并参与了联合国和北极理事会的报告。他将确保将知识迅速转让给土著社区、工业、政府和学术界的最终用户。主席将广泛利用电子数据交换原则，创造一个欢迎、多样化和包容的环境。蒙特雷亚尔大学正在为教席提供一个特殊的环境，其新的科学综合体、关于新出现的污染物的最先进平台、对环境、可持续发展和土著研究的坚定承诺。

The Canada Research Chair in Global Change Ecotoxicology seeks a second mandate. In its first mandate, it has published 54 articles and trained 70 HQPs and collaborated with more than 150 researchers here and abroad. The Chair is proposing a cutting-edge research program on the fate of contaminants in a changing environment, with a strong commitment to the co-production of knowledge with First Peoples of Canada, namely Atikamekw, Innu, Naskapi and Inuit communities, with the help of colleagues from natural and social sciences. The Chair will explicitly include research questions from the Indigenous communities in its research, will hire community members (guides, students), and will organize science camps where traditional and scientific knowledge will be transferred to youth. The proposed projects will principally focus on environmental issues linked to the mining of technology-critical elements such as rare earth and platinum group elements, for which there is insufficient data to derive robust environmental regulation, and on the environmental impacts of hydroelectricity, which is predicted to expand worldwide following the Paris Agreement. The Chair will also develop knowledge on how we can control exposure of humans to contaminants in food by choosing specific food preparation techniques. Key questions for the second mandate will be: 1) How is the mobility of contaminants affected by climate-related environmental changes? 2) How do priority contaminants bioaccumulate and move alone and in combination along food webs of changing aquatic systems? 3) How do changes in the diet of Indigenous communities affect their gastro-intestinal exposure to contaminants? 4) Which ecological remediation methods can be developed to attenuate the impact of contaminants in fragile northern systems and in southern agroecosystems? The Chairholder is well recognized nationally and internationally and has participated in UN and Arctic Council reports. He will ensure a swift transfer of knowledge to end users in Indigenous communities, industry, governments and academia. The Chair will extensively use EDI principles to create a welcoming, diverse and inclusive environment. Université de Montréal is providing an exceptional environment for the Chair, with its new Science complex, its state-of-the-art platform on emerging contaminants, its strong commitment to environment, sustainable development and Indigenous studies.
