Description
Do you conduct geoscientific mapping or use it to support sustainable mineral development, environmental assessments or land-use decisions in the North? If so, the Geological Survey of Canada’s GEM-GeoNorth program (2020 to 2027) creates innovative and relevant geoscientific data, knowledge and maps to support your work in the context of a changing climate. GEM-GeoNorth is a continuation of the $200-million Geo-Mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) Program. It builds on the GEM Program by continuing to access new frontiers, the underexplored areas in Canada’s North. Academic, Northern, and Indigenous organizations that conduct geoscience research or want to develop their capacity to use the data may be eligible for funding.
This third iteration of the program, GEM-GeoNorth, continues to evolve to meet new priorities and demands by leveraging innovative approaches to transform the generation and use of Northern geoscience for a digital world. GEM-GeoNorth delivers innovative, cutting-edge and relevant geoscientific research in Northern Canada, focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities facing economic development in the North. Highlights of our current research activities will be available in 2023. The program pillars are as follows:
- – Refine geological knowledge regarding untapped resource potential in Canada’s North
- – Enhance understanding of rapidly changing landscapes and coasts to support economic development via critical infrastructures
- – Develop and provide new public geoscience to inform environmental assessments
- – Leverage innovative data-driven predictive methods to forecast cumulative impacts in a changing climate
- – Align research priorities and products with the priorities of Northerners and Indigenous Peoples
GEM-GeoNorth is accepting applications for grant funding from September 18, 2024, until December 16, 2024. Please request an application from GEM-GeoNorth.
