Objectif(s): To monitor meterological and hydrological conditions in the Sophia Lake watershed; to recover sediments from the lake; to understand the controls on sediment flux and deposition in the lake.
Description du projet: The researchers plan to measure weather conditions in the Sophia Lake area, together with measurements of stream flow and sediment movement in the lake. This information will help us to understand what controls the transfer of sediments from the land to the lake, and how this transfer is dependent on year-to-year changes in the weather. By examining the lake sediments, we may be able to reconstruct changes in weather over the last few thousand years.
