This dataset includes cores collected from lakes near Schefferville and Fermont, QC. Sediment cores were collected for the purpose of extracting DNA from Daphnia and copepod resting stages, as well as enumerating the zooplankton subfossils contained in the sediment. Cores will also be Pb210 dated, analysed for magnetic susceptibility and processed for sedimentary pigments. Water chemistry, bathymetry, paleo data.
