Published purpose
This project will determine how permafrost thaw and geological legacy influence the formation, evolution, and sensitivity of lakes in the western Canadian Arctic. Using paleolimnology, limnological surveys, and comparisons across terrain types and regions, it will assess how past environmental conditions shape present-day lake ecosystems and their responses to climate change and legacy mining pollution. This research aims to improve predictions of landscape stability, water quality, and freshwater availability for northern communities and ecosystems under future warming.
