lakehead university professor teams up with visiting scientist from russia to study unique sediment sample

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 - orillia is pleased to welcome dr. vera ponomareva, a senior scientist from the russian academy of sciences, to its campus this week to work on a unique international research project with lakehead's dr. florin pendea, assistant professor of interdisciplinary studies (environmental sustainability).

the team will examine a seven-metre sediment core collected by pendea from siberia last summer. it is hoped that the sediment sample will help to answer their research questions, which are focused on how the climate of the northern pacific evolved and led to the population migration from siberia into north america.

"what drove these people out of asia into the americas is one on the questions we're asking," says pendea. "the project will help us learn about how nordic populations created resilient adaptive systems in response to climatic and environmental challenges."
