| Description: |
Sampling charred soils in Saskatchewan, outfitting robins with GPS backpacks in Alberta, and measuring the growth rates of trees in northern Alaska - scientists are continuing a decade-long project in the field this summer to study the impacts of a rapidly warming climate. The Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment campaign, which started field work in Alaska and northwestern Canada this spring, continues with more research into the region's changing forests, carbon cycle, thawing permafrost, shifting wildlife habitat and more.
