Advancing lake science

The NSERC Canadian Lake Pulse Network is a scientific initiative on environmental issues affecting Canadian lakes. It brings together experts in lake science, spatial modelling, analytical chemistry, public health, remote sensing, amongst others. The impacts of land-use changes, climate change and contaminants are assessed while developing new tools for lake stewardship. We are supported by an NSERC Strategic Partnership Grant.

Training future lake experts

Our scientists provide students with interdisciplinary training and inspire them to face freshwater challenges with a collaborative spirit and scientific rigour.

Supporting lake management

Water managers, municipalities, lake associations, governments and non-governmental organizations all need access to lake health and watershed information, especially to support decision-making and guide policies. We coordinate with diverse groups to ensure that our LakePulse.ca Water Portal will provide relevant and accessible information based on results from our projects. The LakePulse.ca Water Portal will provide interactive maps on the health of Canadian lakes and on regional threats.
