Student - The Manitoba Great Lakes Project

Eutrophication is caused when freshwater lakes receive an excess of nutrients. These nutrients come from natural sources, industrial livestock operations, runoff from agricultural lands, and animal husbandry.

CEOS has started a multiyear research program on eutrophication in the Manitoba Great Lakes (Lakes Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Winnipegosis). The research seeks to understand the levels, sources, and sinks of nutrients in these three lakes using a combination of in situ sampling, time series mooring data, and satellite remote sensing. GIS analysis will be used to locate various sources of nutrients in the immediate watersheds surrounding the lakes. Historical data will be used to examine trends in nutrient inputs and how they manifest within the lakes given certain limnological processes.

We seek a student, either at the undergraduate honours or early Master's level, to assist with this work part-time. Pay will be commensurate with qualifications, and the amount of time spent on the project will account for the student's courseload and other commitments. There is also an opportunity for this project to become full time next summer and to evolve into an M.Sc. thesis.

Please send a short notice of intent and CV to Dr. David Barber.
