Canada Research Chair (CRC) Tier 1 in Earth Observation for a Sustainable Future

We seek an outstanding scholar who combines remote sensing techniques with in-situ measurements at the cutting edge of Earth Observation and interdisciplinary thinking about the central issues facing our planet. The Chair’s specialization may cover a range of areas including, but not limited to: climate change, vegetation change, sustainable agriculture and food systems, biodiversity and patterns of wildlife migration, risk mitigation (flooding, drought, extreme heat, wildfires), ecosystem processes, and critical information for developing successful mitigation and adaptation strategies that address environmental change (e.g., nature-based solutions).
