Located in an area of high vulnerability for weather-related phenomena (storms, surges, coastal erosion), PEI's north shore is a natural laboratory for the study of the effects of climate change. The UPEI Biology lab, under the direction of Dr. Pedro Quijon, is giving the first steps towards the assessment of sandy shore invertebrates as monitoring tools of climate change.

This project is a collaboration among faculty of the Departments of Biology, Physics, Island Studies, and Environmental Studies, as well as Environment Canada.
