A new ecosystem
for scientific progress

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.
Today, May 22, marks the International Day for Biological Diversity, a global occasion to reflect on and reaffirm our collective commitment to protecting the natural world.
The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has released a landmark Nexus Assessment, examining the deep interconnections among biodiversity, water, food, health, and climate change.
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.
