Objective(s): To collect sediment cores from two permanently stratified meromictic lakes in the eastern Canadian Arctic that are likely to contain varved (annually laminated) sediments: Ogac Lake (62o 52'N and 67o 21'W) in southern Baffin Island and Tessiarsuk Lake in
Project Description: Mr. J. Overpeck and his team will collect samples of mud from the bottom of Ogac Lake. In their laboratory, they will then examine the chemistry, texture, and fossils in this mud in hopes of documenting how the southern Baffin Island environment (mainly c
