Inukjuak

In partnership with the Inuit community of Inukjuak (Nunavik, Québec, Canada), our research examines how environmental change and hydroelectric development in permafrost regions can influence mercury (Hg) mobilization and methylmercury (MeHg) production in soils, waters, and aquatic food webs. We also explore the nutritional value and potential contaminant transfer in traditional country food preparations to support food security and informed decision-making.

• A first run-of-river hydropower plant development in a permafrost-rich subarctic Canadian region: short-term fate of mercury and carbon
• Improving nutritional intakes and reducing metal(loid) exposures from wild fish broth among Inuit pregnant women
