LakePulse

10.25976/sd85-ov48

The LakePulse Network performed a lake health assessment at the canadian scale. Launched in 2016 thanks to the funding of the NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) Strategic Partnership Program for Networks, LakePulse is an academic-government partnership that brings together 17 academic researchers from 13 Canadian universities, as well as eight provincial governments and two federal departments. Research interests were grouped under four research themes, with two to four projects within each theme. Approaches used in LakePulse include traditional, state-of-the-art and innovative methods in genomics, emerging contaminants, greenhouse gases, invasive pathogens, paleolimnology, spatial modelling, statistical analyses and remote sensing to answer the following main questions:

  • How healthy are Canadian lakes?
  • Is lake degradation widespread in Canada or worse in certain regions?
  • Is lake health getting better, worse, or stable through time?
  • How does land use and climate change affect lake health?
