Enhanced Contaminant Transport from Thawing Permafrost in Freshwater Ecosystems
Principal Investigator: Blais, Jules M
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: This research goal is to examine the role of thermokarst development on natural organic matter and the release of metals (e.g. mercury) and organic contaminants (e.g. polychlorinated biphenyls - PCBs). Sampling for contaminants: Water sampling for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) will be done by passive samplers, consisting of a semi-permeable membrane containing a resin that will extract ...
