What weβre creating
a space where scientists, managers and policy-makers COLLABORATE TO develop research questions that advance knowledge and inform sustainable resource management.
We bring together diverse perspectives, skillsets and tools to tackle pressing environmental concerns, in the Great Lakes and beyond.
We conduct synthesis-driven research to understand the ecological interactions and processes necessary to sustain ecosystems in the Great Lakes basin. We integrate knowledge across scales, scientific traditions, and applications. Our goal is to bring a global perspective to local applications.
We create spaces for the collaborative development of questions and solutions in ecosystem management. We seek a diversity of perspectives, backgrounds, and applications in biodiversity science.
Weβre pleased to share that Dr. Chris Brimacombe, a newly-arrived Postdoctoral Fellow here at the Centre for Ecosystem Management (CEM), has been awarded a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) grant to support his research on ecological networks, particularly food webs.
The Canada Water Agency is currently funding Great Lakes projects to target the most significant environmental challenges affecting Great Lakes water quality and ecosystem health.
One of the core activities of the Centre is to host postdoctoral fellows and working groups tackling applied biodiversity science challenges in the Great Lakes region. We provide space, support, and knowledge transfer activities relating to biodiversity science.
