Summary:
The researcher will map the configuration of peat deposits and permafrost within them using geophysical surveys (ground penetrating radar and EM-31). This will involve setting out a traverse line on foot using measuring tape and flagging tape, taking measurements along the traverse line with hand-held equipment and measuring the depth of peat using a probe. The researcher will drive or fly out ...

Summary:
This research is part of a Canadian-Russian collaborative, interdisciplinary project aimed at the history of treeline fluctuations in circumboreal regions. We will also investigate the feasibility of using peat as a temporal record of pesticide residues. It will also investigate methods utilized in temperate peat studies and the applicability of these methods in northern Canada....
