The L2O Lab is located in the University of Ottawa's Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. 

We are broadly interested in better understanding the cycles of carbon, nutrients, mercury and other contaminants across landscapes from headwaters to nearshore coastal environments, drawing on principles and approaches from environmental chemistry, earth sciences, hydrology, limnology, oceanography and ecology.
