Published purpose
This project will explore how climate-driven hydrological changes affect pond ecosystems that support the endangered whooping crane in Wood Buffalo National Park, NWT. By combining contemporary monitoring and paleolimnological data, it will assess water-level dynamics, groundwater influence, and food availability to understand risks to breeding habitat. This research aims to inform conservation strategies and long-term monitoring efforts to protect this vulnerable species under changing climate conditions.
