Groundbreaking research looks into the role of summer rainfall in the Canadian High Arctic
A team of researchers, including Queen's University's Scott Lamoureux and Melissa Lafrenière, Professors in the Department of Geography and Planning, have published a study that examines the importance of summer rainfall in High Arctic settings. The study, Emerging dominance of summer rainfall driving High Arctic terrestrial-aquatic connectivity, presents a new analysis of a long-term hydrological, meteorological, and water quality data set from the Queen's-led Cape Bounty Arctic Watershed Observatory in Nunavut.
