Belugas: Sentinels of Climate Change in the Arctic (2023-2024)
The Arctic is experiencing rapid ecosystem changes in the face of global climate change. This project team sought to better understand how marine ecosystems are evolving in the face of climate change, using belugas in the Churchill region as model organisms.
Team members traveled to Churchill in August 2023 to examine marine mammal ecology and conservation and then embarked on remote sensing projects from data collected in the field. Students also connected with leading scientists from a range of disciplines and institutions who conduct related research in the Arctic and elsewhere.
