By Emilie Hackett, Special to the Record – The City of Magog is the object of a unique research project led by Concordia University’s Dr. Ali Nazemi. It will observe the effects of climate change on the atmosphere, bodies of water such as Lake Memphremagog, and wetlands like the Marais de la Rivière aux Cerises. The study aims to help better understand environmental disturbances due to climate change, in order to improve water, land, and energy resource management, all while developing strategies and efficient tools to reduce the impacts of climate-related natural disasters.
