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 👇

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

Today Audubon praises a new rule from the @Interior that strengthens protections for 13 million acres in the Western Arctic—a region home to numerous Alaska Native communities and one of the most important habitats for birds and wildlife on the planet.
