Objective(s): To examine the palaeoenvironmental record preserved in the sediments of peat bogs in the Truelove Lowland and surrounding area (Devon Island); to extract sediment cores from peat bogs; to collect samples from the cores for subsequent chemical analyses at the university laboratory
Project Description: Chris Somr is returning as part of Dr. King's research party working on the Truelove Lowland. He is extracting columns of soil from peat bogs to determine what the climate was like long ago.
