CIMP 199: Water quality of peatland ponds and streams on a latitudinal transect

Our project examined water quality in peatland catchments in the Dehcho, Gwich’in Settlement Area, and Inuvaluit Settlement Region of the Northwest Territories and the lands of the Dene Tha’, Woodland Cree, Big Stone Cree, and Métis people in Alberta. A latitudinal study of streams and ponds from Slave Lake, AB to Inuvik, NT in 2019 was undertaken to determine the influence of permafrost extent on methylmercury, mercury, dissolved organic matter, elements, and ions.
