@ReSEC_WLU team worked with the amazing Sahtúotįnę people and the Délı̨nę Got’ı̨nę Government to build a portable community monitoring lab, becoming an educational resource for the local school and the wider community while supporting water and ice research. @LaurierResearch
Scientists say a new Délı̨nę mobile lab is a model for others to follow. Leader Danny Gaudet says it's important as the Sahtu thinks more seriously about water. cabinradio.ca/267586/news/en…

PAPER ALERT! Our new paper published in The Cryosphere shows that freeze-up timing and early-winter ice growth in a small subarctic lake are mainly controlled by air temperature and snowfall, key insights into early-season ice processes in northern lakes. reseclab.ca/news/rafat-et-al…
