The concern over and study of global climate change has pervaded nearly all aspects of environmental research in recent years. CSEC is sponsoring projects that add important new data to our understanding of how the global environment is changing in response to climate change. At present, most of our research focuses on processes of soil formation, in particular, on rates of floral colonization and carbon storage. The soil analysis lab at Le Moyne is equipped with a LECO TruSpec C/N, which analyses carbon and nitrogen content of samples. Financial support for some of these activities has been provided by HSBC.
