Relatively few people call this lake-scattered landscape home, but the region plays a crucial role in understanding global climate change. New research from Soren Brothers, assistant professor in the Department of Watershed Sciences and Ecology Center, details how lakes in Nunavut could have a big impact on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, and it&#8217;s not all bad news\u2014at least for now. Brothers examined 23 years of data from lakes near Rankin Inlet. He noted a peculiarity\u2014as the lakes warmed, their carbon dioxide concentrations fell. Most lakes are natural sources of carbon dioxide, but these lakes were now mostly near equilibrium with the atmosphere.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-02-arctic-stew-high-latitude-lakes-affect.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Arctic stew: Understanding how high-latitude lakes respond to and affect climate change<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To arrive at Nunavut, turn left at the Dakotas and head north.
