Objective(s): To examine the palaeoenvironmental record preserved in the sediments of the larger lakes in the Truelove Lowland (Devon Island); to extract sediment cores from lake bottoms; to collect samples from the cores for subsequent chemical analyses at the university laboratory; to collect soil and sediment samples from areas adjacent to the lakes for comparative purposes
Project Description: Rod Smith and Louise Hollingsworth are part of Dr. King's research party working on the Truelove Lowland. They will be extracting columns of soil from the bottoms of the larger lakes to determine what the climate was like long ago. They will also collect soil samples from the areas surrounding the lake for comparative purposes.
