Studies at the Yellowknife museum

Testing layers of kapton tape against a superheated nichrome coil meant to drop biologging devices off of wildlife collars at specific times 🧪🌎🌱 #academicsky

Spent the week testing audiologgers on reindeer at the Large Animal Research Station in Fairbanks, AK; hopefully this will help calibrate the accelerometers and get more acoustic training data before these go out on wild caribou. The reindeer were almost too leisurely… 🧪🌎🌱

One of the few water melons I picked at the right time this year, and I can’t believe it was in October! 👩‍🌾

Some paintings and photos from my recent trip to Kugluktuk. I try to make plein air paintings in a book I made for my toddler, and this the longest I was away from him. I went there to present to the Hunter Trapper Organization on caribou research and I look forward to coming back in the future. 🧪🌎

Getting out on the land thanks to the great folks in Kugluktuk, Nunavut. The Richardson Sound and River are wonderful; a caribou country with no caribou as they move further inland. 🌎🧪

Looks familiar, photos from a Calgary > Yellowknife flight yesterday evening

Beautiful view flying into Yellowknife today (iykyk)

👋 I’m a PhD student working in the Gurarie lab at SUNY-ESF studying barren-ground caribou movement and sound disturbance using acoustic monitors and bio-logging technology. I did my MS at the UAF in Fbx, AK studying caribou hearing and the soundscapes of the Alaska’s Arctic Coastal Plain.
