DESCRIPTION:The Office of Sponsored Research is pleased to invite McGill re
 searchers and administrators to an information session on National Geograp
 hic funding opportunities.  Emerging and established researchers are encou
 raged to attend.\n\nNational Geographic has recently revised their grantin
 g program and funds fieldwork in the following areas:  human migration (i.
 e.\, the causes and effects of human population movement)\, human adaptati
 on (i.e.\, how societies adjust to and mitigate environmental changes)\, a
 nd human diversity (i.e.\, the cultural\, linguistic\, and genetic diversi
 ty of our species)\, biodiversity in human-altered environments (including
  human-wildlife conflict and mitigation\, urban ecology\, zoonotic disease
 s)\, the effects of climate change on biodiversity (including science- and
  policy-oriented solutions)\, the exploitation of natural resources (inclu
 ding bushmeat\, legal but unsustainable harvesting\, wildlife crime)\, lan
 dscape connectivity and habitat corridors (including animal migrations)\, 
 and the science of restoration (i.e.\, ecosystem restoration at all scales
 )\, geology\, geochemistry\, physical geography\, marine ecology\, oceanog
 raphy\, paleontology\, and observational astronomy. We are particularly in
 terested in the themes of ocean research and conservation (including reef 
 processes\, marine ecology and management\, and sea-level change)\, disast
 ers associated with natural hazards (including volcanoes\, earthquakes\, a
 nd landslides)\, environmental change (including records of past climates\
 , glacial retreat\, pollution\, and remediation)\, and the history of our 
 planet (including plate tectonics\, paleobotany\, mass-extinction events\,
  and planetary analog science).\n\nThe information session will include:\n
 \npresentation by Colin Chapman\, Professor (Anthropology and School of En
 vironment) and Member of the Committee for Research and Exploration (CRE) 
 at National Geographic.  Professor Chapman will share his insights\, knowl
 edge\, and new updates from his perspective as a member of the CRE for ove
 r 9 years.\n	a question and answer period. \n​Please RSVP online by Wednesd
