Interuniversity Research Group in Limnology (GRIL)The GRIL’s mandate is to promote, facilitate and help initiate novel research in freshwater ecosystems and serves as a platform that synergizes member collaboration, infrastructure access and high-level technical resources. GRIL research and activities address both fundamental and applied questions regarding aquatic ecosystems, focusing on local to global issues related to climate change and other environmental factors, including anthropogenic stressors and working from individual to ecosystem responses. The GRIL also has important mandates regarding training of new highly qualified personnel in aquatic ecology and in outreach to the public, directly and via consultation with community and government partners.

NSERC Canadian LakePulse NetworkLakePulse is conducting an assessment of lake health across Canada, to understand how lakes have changed and to predict how they will respond to key stressors in the future. In today's context of global environmental change, lakes can be impacted by multiple stressors such as pollution, land-use changes and climate change. LakePulse aims to better understand and report on these changes to provide the best knowledge for lake stewardship. LakePulse improves our capacity to collect, analyze, interpret, and share environmental data on lake health, throughout Canada. We collaborate at local, regional, and national levels and conduct regional comparisons across Canada in order to meaningfully engage with policy. |
