These areas are also leading contributors to rising sea levels as the Arctic warms. As the pace of warming accelerates, we need to improve our ability to anticipate glacier changes quickly.</p></div></div></div> Fri, 05 Feb 2021 19:32:46 +0000 kvd1 25055 at /research /research/photos/shattered-planet <div class="field field-name-field-photographer-s-name field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Allen Tian</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded">The impact of human activity on our planet is often difficult to see in the moment, and requires a long-term, overlooking, view. This photo is a drone panorama of my field site on the Rideau Canal System, where I investigate the impact of human activity on aquatic ecosystems, particularly the development of toxic algal blooms. Activities such as fishing, property development and farming have fragmented and altered this ecosystem, and we need a holistic, broader view to piece together how we can protect our delicate, beautiful, world.</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-location field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Location of photograph:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Milburn Bay, Dog Lake, South Frontenac County, Ontario, Canada</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-prize-name field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Prize name:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Graduate Studies Prize</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-year-of-entry field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Submission Year:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">2019-20</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-photo field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" data-echo="/research/sites/default/files/Tian2020_2560x1000.jpg" data-icon="" src="/research/sites/all/modules/contrib/lazyloader/image_placeholder.gif" width="2560" height="1920" alt="[Photograph using a fish eye lens of Milburn Bay, Dog Lake]" title="Shattered Planet" /><noscript><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/research/sites/default/files/Tian2020_2560x1000.jpg" width="2560" height="1920" alt="[Photograph using a fish eye lens of Milburn Bay, Dog Lake]" title="Shattered Planet" /></noscript></div></div></div> Fri, 12 Jun 2020 13:59:21 +0000 kvd1 5249 at /research
