Yesterday we had six teens arrive from around the world to assist with our Earthwatch Institute funded research project called Tundra Wetland Ecology. This project is part of the Climate Change at Arctic's Edge research project where EW teams investigate various aspects of the subarctic treeline environment to determine the impacts of climate change in all seasons of the year.
We are happy to say that everyone arrived last night safe and sound (although one piece of luggage is lagging behind and might be arriving here today.
The first wader walk of the team brought on a few damp clothes but some great fun and smiles along the way. The rest of the day has involved training for the myriad of tasks to perform each day in the field.
As we speak, the fish/tadpole traps are being constructed of recycled material for the first catches of the season.
Welcome everyone! Keep in touch for more of the wetland adventures.
