Description

The Réal Décoste Merit Scholarship Program was founded to honour the visionary work of the first Executive Director of Ouranos, Réal Décoste, who died in July 2004. Mr. Décoste created Ouranos with the goal of fostering partnerships and multidisciplinarity.

At the level of ecosystems and habitats, we are most interested in the Saint Lawrence wetlands because of their critical importance to the health of ecosystems in the context of CC; the thermal refuges in lakes and rivers; as well as in ecosystems providing biological services which could reinforce the adaptive abilities of certain key socio-economic sectors.

Implicit in the title of this program are numerous key elements for society, which cannot be considered separately under climate change. Indeed, climate is one of the main factors affecting the distribution, growth and phenology of species as well as affecting habitat. At the same time, ecosystems and biodiversity contribute to the natural cycles of water and particulate matter and, therefore, to the local climate.
