The supply of energy and mineral resources to a growing global population is a major challenge for the future. To find new resources that can be exploited safely, we need better models of the Earth's crust and its regional endowment. More urgently, we need the skilled geoscientists who can develop those models and apply them in the real world. Critical new knowledge about the origins of the crust and its contained resources is emerging from the study of plate tectonics in the oceans. Acquiring this knowledge and applying it to resource discovery on land requires a new type of training that brings together land-based geologists and marine scientists. We are partnering with German and other European institutions to develop this unique training approach in a new CREATE on Marine Geodynamics and Georesources. Canada, as a global leader in resource development, and Germany, with its state-of-the-art marine infrastructure, are the ideal partners to achieve this goal. Trainees from Canada will participate in unprecedented sea-going research opportunities that combine marine geology, geophysics, and geochemistry to study the Earth's crust as it is forming today in the oceans. Two cohorts of Canadian graduate students and postdoctoral trainees will work together with graduate trainees overseas hosted by the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and other institutions in Germany (67 HQP in total). They will take part in team projects and expeditions around the globe, with expert supervision and access to international marine research infrastructure. Our goal is to take the students out of the classroom and engage them at sea and in the field with world-leading experts in geodynamics and georesources. While working on their own research topics, they will join research cruises and mapping schools and receive hands-on training in the application of marine technology, supported by intensive courses on geodynamics and resources delivered by collaborating centres in Canada and overseas. They will gain significant advantages through national and international networking, professional skills development and engagement with industry and other stakeholders, preparing them for a range of new careers in the Natural Resources and Energy sector.

对不断增长的全球人口的能源和矿产资源的供应是未来的主要挑战。为了找到可以安全利用的新资源，我们需要更好的地球地壳及其区域捐赠模型。更紧急的是，我们需要熟练的地球科学家，他们可以开发这些模型并将其应用于现实世界。关于外壳及其所包含资源的起源的关键新知识来自对海洋板块构造的研究。获取这些知识并将其应用于土地上的资源发现需要一种新型的培训，该培训将陆上地质学家和海洋科学家汇集在一起​​。我们正在与德国和其他欧洲机构合作，在海洋地球动物学和地球场的新创作中开发这种独特的培训方法。作为资源开发的全球领导者，德国及其最先进的海洋基础设施是实现这一目标的理想合作伙伴。来自加拿大的学员将参加前所未有的海洋研究机会，这些研究机会结合了海洋地质，地球物理学和地球化学，以研究地球上的地壳，因为它今天在海洋中形成。两名加拿大研究生和博士后学员将与由Helmholtz海洋研究中心Kiel和德国其他机构（总共67个HQP）与海外的研究生合作。他们将通过专家监督和进入国际海洋研究基础设施的专家监督，参加全球各地的团队项目和探险。我们的目标是将学生带出课堂，并与世界领先的地球动力学和地理学专家一起参与海上和领域。在研究自己的研究主题时，他们将加入研究巡游和映射学校，并接受有关海洋技术的应用培训，并得到加拿大和海外合作中心提供的密集课程和资源的强化课程。他们将通过国家和国际网络，专业技能的发展以及与行业和其他利益相关者的参与获得很大的优势，为他们为自然资源和能源领域的一系列新职业做好准备。
