Research Updates for Laypeople

Project EM-1 is a world first, since this is the first time that GHG emissions are measured before and after the creation of a hydroelectric reservoir. This will make it possible to precisely identify the impact hydroelectric reservoirs have on greenhouse gases.

In order to help the general public gain a better understanding of what is at stake in this great scientific adventure, over the next few months the Eastmain1.org team will be posting easy to read “Educational Printables”, summarizing the main aspects of the research, on this page.
