As a global hub for mining technology and research, Sudbury hosts the planet's biggest clusters for mineral exploration and mining services. The city boasts two of the deepest mines worldwide and serves as headquarters for multiple international mining corporations. After suffering from industrial pollution for years, Sudbury has gained UN recognition for its remarkable environmental recovery, now known as the Sudbury Protocol. Today, the city is looked to for environmental solutions worldwide. Laurentian's close access to mining operations by Vale, Glencore, Kidd Creek, Hemlo, Red Lake, Goldcorp, Placer Dome, and northwestern Quebec mines, plus E.B. Eddy's extensive wood processing plants in Espanola, creates an ideal setting for researching environmental effects, management strategies, and ecosystem restoration.
