Objective(s): To describe and correlate with limnological variables the algae and aquatic invertebrates of arctic/subarctic lakes; to use these data for interpreting the paleoenvironmental histories of these lakes and the surrounding areas through sediment analysis of fossil assemblages preserved in sediment cores;
Project Description: The research team will sample approximately 20 lakes located within a 100 km radius of Tuktoyaktuk and within the immediate vicinity of Inuvik. At each lake they will analyze the water for major environmental variables and remove some of the lake mud for future analysis of algal remains.
