DOC in surface waters in the NWT; implications of a changing climate
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: This research focusses upon dissolved organic carbon (DOC) quantity and quality from a suite of hydrological environments underlain by discontinuous permafrost. The research looks to better understand how water quality will be influenced by a warming climate, with specific attention to DOC, by analysing historical water quality data (30 years) from three local rivers (Yellowknife, Cameron, and Mar...
