Project involving Lethbridge scientists to study role wetlands play in fighting climate change
LETHBRIDGE, AB – A study involving multiple researchers across Canada will take a deep dive into the role wetlands play in combatting climate change.
Dr. Larry Flanagan and Dr. Matthew Bogard from the University of Lethbridge are two of the researchers involved in the study led by Dr. Irena Creed. Creed is the vice-principal of research and innovation at the University of Toronto, Scarborough.
The project will help build a scientific understanding of wetlands, their function, and the services that they provide.
Creed stated, “There’s an assumption that nature is storing carbon to a certain degree, but we need stronger evidence to truly know how effective wetlands are as a nature-based climate solution.”
