Environmental Influences on Water Quality
FY 2019-20
Summary
Canadas boreal region is rich in water resources, which provide cultural, economic and ecological benefits to Canadian communities. Water quality in this region is subject to many environmental pressures; notably, rates of climate change are among the highest of anywhere on the continent. Rising temperatures, changes to precipitation patterns and declining snow cover will fundamentally alter fluxes of water and chemicals through the environment. The Canada Research Chair in Environmental Influences on Water Quality will investigate effects of global change on nutrient cycling in boreal watersheds, and ultimately enhance understanding of how human actions impact water quality across the region.
