Objectif(s): To obtain further lake sediment cores from three upland lakes 25 km north of Pangnirtung; to continue water quality analysis, with emphasis on the sudden changes in lake water chemistry that occur during the spring snowmelt period; to survey the geology and geomorphology of the lake basins; to obtain quality depth soundings of the lakes' bathymetry;
Description du projet: During the last glacial period, 110,000 to 5,000 years to present some lakes escaped glaciation. The Researcher will retrieve sediment cores from three upland lakes to investigate the physical responses of the sediments and the biological responses of algae toward this climatic event.
