Montreal Gazette (blog) - Marianne Douglas and climate change in the Canadian Arctic at McGill

"Arctic regions are experiencing high degrees of environmental change, including thinning of arctic sea ice, increased deposition of airborne pollutants as well as evidence of a longer growing season," says Marianne Douglas, director of the Canadian Circumpolar Institute and a professor of earth and atmospheric sciences at the University of Alberta, who studies the sediment in northern lake basins to try to gauge the difference between past and present.

On January 13 at 6 p.m., Douglas comes to McGill's Redpath Museum to deliver the Cutting Edge science lecture  on "Environmental change in Canada's Arctic; How different is the present from the past?"
