Grants and Contributions:
Title:
Permafrost thaw as a potential driver of unforeseen cyanobacteria blooms in Canada's North
Agreement Number:
FEL-2425-0003
Agreement Value:
$50,000.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2024 - Mar 31, 2025
Description:
The project aims to characterize present and future cyanobacteria risks (e.g., field surveys and bioassays), as well as historical perspectives to reconstruct long-term records of environmental change (e.g., paleolimnology). Examining lakes with varying morphologies and underlying permafrost conditions can aid in understanding different lake sensitivities to cyanobacteria blooms in northern environments.
