Controlled Environmental Systems Research Facility

[1]

The Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility [1] and its Space and Advanced Life Support Agriculture program are an essential part of Canada's contributions to plant research and development for space and closed environment related activities.

The prospect of a higher priority for advanced life support research objectives in the Canadian Space Agency's Long Term Space Plan and the strong support of NASA [2]'s Advanced Life Support (ALS) community provide a clear incentive and opportunity to promote our capabilities in this area.

In addition, our ongoing contract with the European Space Agency [3]'s MELiSSA Project promises to expand to include a broader scope of objectives in life support studies.

The University of Guelph’s SES distinguishes itself from other environmental science programs in that it comprises a true integration of the life and physical sciences to address important environmental problems in forest, aquatic and agro-ecosystems.
In addition to our unique research capabilities, the SES is committed to providing a learner-centered environmental science education to undergraduate and graduate students – one that is second to none in North America.
