Degrees:B.Sc. (Ag.Env.Sc.) Honours Environment (McGill University), M.Sc. (Carleton University)

For her M.Sc. research Naomi studied the paleolimnology of a subarctic lake near Yellowknife, NT. Her research focused on:

  1. Reconstructing paleoclimate, lake productivity, and contaminant concentrations using freeze core proxies (geochemical and sedimentological);
  2. Improving freeze core analysis with Itrax XRF-CS by testing a prototype cooled containment vessel and improving upon current calibration protocol.
