2010
Summary:
The overall objective of the Lake 5A mesocosm study is to better understand the impact of permafrost thaw shoreline slumping (an analogue for a warming climate) on the bottom components of the aquatic food-web in small Arctic tundra lakes in order to better predict the effects of a warming climate on food-web structure, function and productivity.
To assess the direct and indirect effects of per...

Lake Ice Study:
Noell Lake and Lakes 5A & 5B (~ 1 km W-NW of Noell Lake) will be visited in late April to measure lake ice. Holes will be made in the ice using an ice corer. Ice thickness and composition will be determined by measuring and...
