Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Université de Montréal
$200,000.00
Global Change Ecotoxicology
FY 2020-21
Summary
Human activities have modified the global cycles of nutrients and contaminants, and have disrupted ecosystem functions with consequences for the sustainability of these systems, and for human health. As a result, Canada is facing unprecedented environmental challenges linked to climate change and pollution, particularly in the developing North. The Chair will adopt a multidisciplinary approach that spans from environmental chemistry and ecology to health sciences. It will identify the governing biogeochemical principles by which contaminant and global change stressors will interact, and apply these principles to develop means to limit deleterious effects to ecosystem services and humans.
