For years scientists have been investigating the impact climate change has had on the environment.  Many of these changes are obvious; some are not.  John Smol is a highly-respected professor in the Biology Department at Queen’s University in Kingston.  He has helped pioneer a new course of study that samples the silt at the bottom of lakes, all of over the world.  Examining these core samples gives scientists a history of the environment, going back thousands of years.  Tune in for this important conversation.
