Objective(s): to collect sediments from sediment traps established in 1977 by the Geological Survey of Canada; to re-establish the sediment traps for future collection; to analyze the sediments for inorganic and organic constituents; to collect samples of surface water, ground water, and precipitation in order to understand how water moves through earth that is underlain by permafrost
Project Description: Dr. Edwards is collecting soil samples from the bottom of a lake to determine what types of contaminants have settled from the air into the water. He is also collecting water samples from lakes, rivers, and in the ground to learn more about how rain water and melt water move through earth which has permafrost below it.
