Research Live from the arctic

Hello All -

From September 21 to October 1, I will be transmitting my research live from the field through the internet, satellite, and video streaming back to my students, friends, and family back here in the states. The research team that I will be joining will be led by principle investigator, Dr. Peter Kershaw from the University of Alberta. The primary goal of the research is to quantify the impacts of climate change on northern ecosystems. This project will entail gaining an understanding of the current processes and relationships driving these ecosystems by conducting systemic vegetation and soil surveys, recording microclimate measurements by using ground penetrating radar, and analyzing small mammalian communities.
