The proposed CRC project seeks to identify the impacts of environmental change on the *hydrology, biogeochemistry and ecology of sensitive ecosystems. The first theme focuses on the development of a more complete understanding of the controls that regulate the amount of inorganic mercury and methylmercury in both the aquatic and terrestrial food webs. The second theme focuses on the way in which the specific factors associated with climate change are going to affect the ecology and biogeochemistry of northern peatlands, and as a consequence their impacts on downstream water quality in terms of dissolved organic carbon and methylmercury export.

拟议的CRC项目旨在确定环境变化对敏感生态系统的水文、地球化学和生态的影响。第一个主题侧重于更全面地了解水生和陆生食物网中无机汞和甲基汞含量的控制措施。 第二个主题侧重于与气候变化相关的具体因素将如何影响北方泥炭地的生态和生物地球化学，并因此在溶解有机碳和甲基汞输出方面对下游水质产生影响。
