Sentinel North is an unprecedented strategy in the history of northern research in Canada.
Its goal: to improve our understanding of humanity, its environment, and the impact environmental changes are having on humans and their health.
The mission of Sentinel North is to conduct real-time mapping of Arctic, sub-Arctic, and northern ecosystems and geosystems on the human being–­ environment axis, using new and powerful transdisciplinary scientific tools.
Sentinel North is a broad synergistic initiative that brings together several cutting-edge research programs in fields for which Université Laval is already a recognized leader, particularly neuropho-tonics (Pierre Marquet), dysmetabolic gut microbiota (Vincenzo Di Marzo), remote sensing of Canada’s new Arctic frontier (Marcel Babin), and photonics innovation (Younès Messaddeq).
