Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Dalhousie University
$120,000.00
Coastal Water Resources
FY 2021-22
Summary
This program will investigate the vulnerability of Canadian coastal water resources in subsurface (aquifers) and surface (estuaries and marine coasts) settings to climate change and other environmental disturbances. The three core research directions will be (i) contamination of marine coasts from terrestrial sources via groundwater pathways, (ii) saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers pumped for water supply, and (iii) water temperature drivers in coastal rivers that provide critical cold-water fish habitat. Results will contribute to the protection of drinking water and aquatic ecosystems and will inform climate change adaptation policies for water resources management in coastal communities.
