In a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Dr. Florin Pendea and co-authors from and McGill University found that wetlands within the Lake Simcoe watershed were 50 percent more effective in storing carbon and could provide potential climate change solutions.

Dr. Florin Pendea alongside colleagues and several undergraduate students from Lakehead, spent three years collecting and examining soil properties and carbon accumulation rates over the last 100 years in swamps and marshes in the Lake Simcoe watershed.

Lakehead professor Dr. Meridith Lovell-Johnston from the Faculty of Education, and her research team have received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) to explore humanizing learning in online and offline spaces, inspired when postsecondary schools had to move online due to COVID-19.

“Looking more widely at the topic, students who traditionally face barriers to postsecondary learning, such as mature students, international students, and others, also experience a number of significant barriers to online learning,” said Dr. Lovell-Johnston.
