An interuniversity project led by Université du Québec à Montréal Professor Michelle Garneau has received more than $12M in grants from the Government of Québec and NSERC to measure the amount of carbon captured by natural and disturbed wetlands. “The project will improve knowledge on the carbon sequestration potential of different types of environments subject to natural and anthropogenic pressures,” explained Garneau, who added that the goal of the project is to support the conservation, rehabilitation and management of wetlands to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The research team includes experts from McGill University, Université de Montréal, Université Laval, UQAM, and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières.
