Tomorrow's talk: Freshwater ecosystem response to climate change in the Canadian North

[Elizabeth]

Hi folks,

Tomorrow's talk is on "Freshwater ecosystem response to climate change
in the Canadian North", by Joan Bunbury of the Department of
Geography.

Here's her abstract:

Lakes and wetlands are an important component of the northern
landscape, and climate change poses a major threat to these
ecosystems. Warmer temperatures and changes in precipitation regimes
are expected to influence water levels, nutrients, and water
chemistry, thereby altering the abundance and distribution of aquatic
organisms. Paleoenvironmental records provide a unique and valuable
perspective to our understanding of how these organisms and their
environment have been impacted by climate change in the past, and can
provide insight into what may happen under alternative climate
scenarios in the future.

See you all at 3PM in BA 1220.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
