| Project Summary | |
| We plan to develop a conceptual model of
metal movement in Shield watersheds and lakes. The model would integrate estimates of
metal speciation and fractionation into a fate and transport framework. The model would
provide critical linkages between atmospheric deposition of metals, metal release from
weathering, uptake by biota and the resultant concentrations in terrestrial and aquatic
systems. A second phase of the project (if funded) would involve testing the model on a
site-specific basis using watersheds and lakes in the Sudbury area for case studies.
