Summary:
The objectives of this research project are to collect sediment cores from up to six sites in Great Bear Lake to investigate the temporal record of diatom and lake productivity and the deposition of mercury and other metals; to investigate spatial gradients in lake productivity as influenced by station depth, distance from shore, and river influences; and to continue to investigate mercury levels ...

Summary:
The Researchers will collect a series of sediment and water samples. These will be analyzed for plant nutrients, concentration of microscopic plant cells, bacteria, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen and organic contaminants. Microscopic animals will also be netted. They will determine the abundance and composition of the animals and conduct experiments to measure their feeding rates and fat cont...
