It’s been incredibly cold this week, but our group has been staying warm! Our sampling for February is officially complete and we’re looking forward to March

How many lab members does it take to pull up one of our moorings? The answer may shock you. We had a fun Friday trip to service some of our sensors today!

This acoustic receiver mooring was in #LakeStClair for one year. Unbelievable Zebra and Quagga mussel growth has covered nearly every square inch of the float and receiver.

I am delayed in sharing this but better late than never!! Thrilled to share the first of several papers looking at emerging contaminants in Northern fishes from the Kitikmeot! Here, we examined microplastics in Arctic char and their summer feeding habitat. Check it out here 👇

Our team has been busy setting up and deploying sensor moorings this past week! And busy enjoying the sunset too 🌅

We've been collecting climate and hydrological measurements out in the tundra since before I was born. Over 30 years of direct observations at the same locations allow us to understand the changing snow patterns in the region. This year is so far the highest ever recorded
