The objective of this study is to develop a hydro-ecological model for small Arctic lakes to assess the vulnerability of their ecosystems to disturbances, such as climate change or water withdrawal.
To quantify geochemical loadings to lakes, a model is being developed by monitoring lakes and their contributing catchment (surface water flow). A climate station will be set up at 2 - 6 sites to mo...

Summary:
The research team will conduct a lake and fish habitat survey, to identify which water bodies have the following characteristics: overwintering fish, lake depths greater than 3.5 feet and water quality conditions which are not suitable for overwintering fish. The research team will consist of 3 crews, 4 men/crew. Crews will receive their safety and sampling orientation in Tuktoyaktuk Harbour at ...
