DESCRIPTION: \n\nThe Office of Sponsored Research is pleased to invite McGi
 ll researchers and administrators to an information session on National Ge
 ographic funding opportunities.  Both emerging and established researchers
  are encouraged to attend.\n\nNational Geographic has recently revised the
 ir granting program and funds fieldwork in the following areas:  human mig
 ration (i.e.\, the causes and effects of human population movement)\, huma
 n adaptation (i.e.\, how societies adjust to and mitigate environmental ch
 anges)\, and human diversity (i.e.\, the cultural\, linguistic\, and genet
 ic diversity of our species)\, biodiversity in human-altered environments 
 (including human-wildlife conflict and mitigation\, urban ecology\, zoonot
 ic diseases)\, the effects of climate change on biodiversity (including sc
 ience- and policy-oriented solutions)\, the exploitation of natural resour
 ces (including bushmeat\, legal but unsustainable harvesting\, wildlife cr
 ime)\, landscape connectivity and habitat corridors (including animal migr
 ations)\, and the science of restoration (i.e.\, ecosystem restoration at 
 all scales)\, geology\, geochemistry\, physical geography\, marine ecology
 \, oceanography\, paleontology\, and observational astronomy. We are parti
 cularly interested in the themes of ocean research and conservation (inclu
 ding reef processes\, marine ecology and management\, and sea-level change
 )\, disasters associated with natural hazards (including volcanoes\, earth
 quakes\, and landslides)\, environmental change (including records of past
  climates\, glacial retreat\, pollution\, and remediation)\, and the histo
 ry of our planet (including plate tectonics\, paleobotany\, mass-extinctio
 n events\, and planetary analog science).\n\nNational Geographic has also 
 released Requests for Proposals in the following fields: Sustainable Citie
 s\; Long-Distance Animal\; Migration\; Big Cats Conservation\; Changing Po
 lar Systems that will also be addressed at the workshop.\n\nThe informatio
 n session will include:\n\npresentation by Colin Chapman\, Professor (Anth
 ropology and School of Environment) and Member of the Committee for Resear
 ch and Exploration (CRE) at National Geographic.  Professor Chapman will s
 hare his insights\, knowledge\, and new updates from his perspective as a 
 member of the CRE for over 9 years.\n	a question and answer period. \n \n\n
 Please RSVP online by August 31\, 2017 at 5:00 P.M.\n
