2018 Summary:
The goal is to reconstruct long-term environmental change (hundreds to thousands of years) by examining chemical and biological fossil remains preserved in lake sediment cores, in order to better understand how thawing permafrost impacts lake ecosystems.
1) Water chemistry and plankton survey
The research team will collect lake water samples from the study lakes to analyze for water chemistry...

The objectives of this project are to draw together multiple sources of information so that the research team may (1) examine change in lake area in this ecoregion, (2) assess amount of meadow habitat lost to rising water levels in core bison range, (3) investigate whether recent changes are part of a longer-term cycle and evaluate the causes of this change, (4) determine a way to document and int...

The Researcher will continue to investigate lakes on the unglaciated terrain of Fosheim Peninsula to determine the former environments of high and low arctic lakes. By analyzing the physical and chemical properties of the sediments, as well as the preserved biological remains within them, the nature and timing of rapid environmental changes at the close of the last glaciation may be explained....

Dr. King and his team will continue their study of the record of past environmental changes preserved in the sediments of the Truelove Lowland. Once again the focus of their field work will be the sediments that have accumulated in the larger, deeper lakes and the soils in the areas surrounding these lakes....
