Climate warming in the Arctic is outpacing the rest of the planet, and the profound environmental change underway will amplify warming trends with global impacts. Understanding Arctic climate and landscape evolution is critical so that future changes can be predicted and used to guide sound policy decisions for northern communities and natural resources.The climate history of the Canadian Arctic is not well understood. Past climate data offer valuable insights on climate dynamics, but Arctic historical records are sparse and short. Lakes are abundant in northern landscapes and their sediments are sensitive archives of past environmental changes that provide compelling evidence for what a future, warmer world might look.

北极的气候变暖速度超过了地球其他地区，正在发生的深刻的环境变化将放大全球变暖趋势。了解北极的气候和景观演变是至关重要的，以便可以预测未来的变化，并用于指导北方社区和自然资源的合理决策。过去的气候数据为气候动态提供了有价值的见解，但北极的历史记录稀少而短暂。湖泊在北方的景观中非常丰富，它们的沉积物是过去环境变化的敏感档案，为未来更温暖的世界可能会是什么样子提供了令人信服的证据。
