Objectif(s): To measure the physiochemical properties of Romulus Lake; to obtain water samples from the lake and surrounding surface streams for lab analysis; to obtain short sediment cores from the lake; to obtain active layer soil samples from surrounding terrain for lab analysis to assess affects of possible active layer inflow to lake; to carry out an EM-31 survey of surrounding terrain to assess pore water salinity variations within the permafrost;
Description du projet: A limnological study of Romulus Lake (specifically temperature, salinity and suspended particulate matter) in association with the pattern of lake-ice development and inflow from the lake basin will be used to determine the effects of the modern hydrologic environment on the lake.
