It’s time for another IGEA field day update! Today was day 2 in the field and boy was it’s a gorgeous day we had blue skies all around and even encountered 2 caribou while surveying! We’re starting to get the hang of everything we have to do everyday in the field so today was a slightly shorter field day than yesterday. We ate a well deserved lunch whilst traveling to Ellie’s research spots and saw a whole herd of musk grazing ox on the tundra beside the Dalton Highway, there were even a few babies!! As I am currently writing this blog post Emma and Nate are digitizing our data and we’re driving between all of Ellie’s sites. Chris and Ellie waded into the Sag at one of the sites and tried to get one of the sensors but we’re unable to today and are going to try again in the next couple of days. We’re all intrigued for dinner tonight which is Brazilian seafood stew and we might hit yoga or the sauna after wards! Overall todays weather was much nicer and hopefully our weather continues to be this nice!

Thanks for reading!
