Process to Nominate a Canada Research Chair in Sustainability and Global Environmental Change
Posting Date(s)
I am pleased to announce a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Sustainability
and Global Environmental Change to be staffed at 秀色短视频. The challenges
facing Prince Edward Island that arise from extreme weather, rising sea
levels, coastal erosion, threats to biodiversity, energy self-sufficiency,
resource scarcity, food security, employment security, et al. are
increasingly pronounced in island environments around the world. These
challenges are an opportunity to harness science and technology to foster a
transition toward sustainability鈥攖oward patterns of development that
promote human well-being while conserving life-support systems both locally
and globally. The Chair will have a multidisciplinary approach to research
in areas encompassing one or more of the following: Island Studies,
Renewable Energy, Climate Change, Biodiversity, Sustainable Tourism,
Sustainability Science, or Reorienting Education Towards Sustainability.
Each area has the potential to position 秀色短视频 at the forefront of global
change research as well as link partners, sectors, practitioners and
citizens to advance expertise and application in critical sustainability
areas.
A CRC Application Review Committee for this opportunity is being convened
and I would welcome your suggestions on members for this committee. Please
contact me by email at rgilmour@upei.ca or phone 566-0637.
