How has climate change affected the boreal forest?
A Lakehead University researcher is receiving more than $440,000 from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada to investigate the impact of climate change on the boreal forest.
Melt-Rate of West Antarctic Ice Sheet Highly Sensitive to Changes in Ocean Temperatures
Melting of ice shelves in West Antarctica speeds up and slows down in response to changes in deep ocean temperature, and is far more variable than previously thought, according to new research published this week in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Lakehead professor studied 1.4 billion-year-old rocks near Dorion to determine abundance of life on Earth
A Lakehead University Geology professor is part of a team of researchers who collaborated on an article exploring oxygen and life on Earth.
Algorithm Provides Early Warning System for Tracking Groundwater Contamination
Groundwater contamination is increasingly recognized as a widespread environmental problem. The most important course of action often involves long-term monitoring. But what is the most cost-effective way to monitor when the contaminant plumes are large, complex, and long-term, or an unexpected event such as a storm could cause sudden changes in contaminant levels that may be missed by periodic sampling?
Innovative research finds influenza detection system in body
University of Saskatchewan researchers have found a unique “sensor” mechanism inside cells that enables the immune system to recognize influenza, a finding that may lead to improved vaccines in the future.
