Summary:
Research will be conducted in a fen-bog complex approximately 5 km west of Fort Simpson. Gas samples will be obtained using portable chambers and later analyzed using gas chromotography. Cores will be collected using a peat corer and a modified ice auger. Peat temperatures, water levels, plant growth rates and water chemistry will also be measured. Geophysical mapping using ground penetrating ...

Summary:
The researchers will be examining small marine organisms (algae, zooplankton and phytoplankton) to determine their influence on global warming. Carbon is necessary for the production of carbon dioxide (CO2), and increase levels of CO2 in the atmosphere can contribute to an increase in the earth's overall temperature. The study will examine how these small marine creatures can reduce carbon level...
