This proposal aims to fund academic access to the St John's Centrifuge Centre, one of the world's premier geotechnical centrifuge modelling facilities, to train highly qualified personnel and to enable seminal research on significant Canadian infrastructure problems; in particular, protecting Canadians against earthquake risk, confronting the issues surrounding climate change on buried infrastructure, addressing cold-regions issues such as frost heave on lifelines, and protecting the environment from groundwater contamination.

该提案旨在为进入圣约翰离心中心的学术访问提供资金，圣约翰离心中心是世界上首要的岩土离心机建模设施之一，旨在培训高素质的人员，并就加拿大重大基础设施问题进行开创性研究；特别是，保护加拿大人免受地震风险，面对埋葬基础设施的气候变化的问题，解决诸如霜冻在终生线上的寒冷区域问题，并保护环境免受地下水污染。
