The deepest ice core in the Americas (613m) has been drilled in the Canadian Arctic by a Faculty of Science co-led team. This massive core will help predict future climate change! #UAlberta #Science #Arctic #Research #ClimateChange

There are lots of cool planets out there, but this one is definitely my favourite💚💙 Happy Earth Day!

@dianalyyyyy we give them a unique ID number for future identification purposes! but some of our nicknames for the ones we’ve seen this year have been “big fella” and “distinguished old lady”!🐻‍❄️ unfortunately not too creative or cute haha

first day out on catching polar bears 🐻‍❄️

[simonne @simonnetremblay]

@dianalyyyyy i’m researching studying polar bear ecology in the western hudson bay. we use helicopters to sedate polar bears in order to collect samples and attach GPS devices to bears to learn more about their movement and physiological responses to climate change 😊

Polar bear research in Hudson Bay. Collecting a blood sample for population monitoring (e.g., hormones, pollutants, diet). Tough conditions this spring - thin ice & very warm (+2C today). So far with a sample of 5 bears, the body condition is on the low side.

Polar bear talk 2/2 for this semester! 🐻‍❄️
It’s a crazy feeling to give the presentation I’ve been waiting my entire undergrad for, and to be nearly done my research project/undergraduate thesis (paper in progress 🫣)

[Andrew Derocher @AEDerocher]

An excellent PhD defence today at @ualbertaScience by Dr. David McGeachy. "Influence of spatiotemporal dynamics of sea ice and individual effects on the population ecology of polar bears in Hudson Bay" Impressive thesis. Congratulations!

Are female polar bears homebodies or wanderers? Do adult females stay close to their mother's home range? This study sheds new light on individual bears' space use and familial relationships. https://t.co/GQZ9lDJRrY

Latest paper from @ualbertascience.bsky.social on polar bears examines long-term canine breakage and scarring. Led by Simonne Tremblay as part of her undergraduate research project & her 1st senior authored paper. [open access]

New study by Colleen Cassady St. Clair and former postdoctoral fellow Peter Thompson shows that grizzly bears and wolves stay hundreds of metres away from the busiest human-use trails, making important habitats unlivable.

Human recreation on mountain trails is displacing grizzly bears and wolves from their natural habitats, even when the trails are hundreds of metres away, according to a new study from the University of Alberta. The research underscores the need for more effective planning to ensure that recreationists and wildlife can coexist, particularly in the busy Bow River Valley, which has long served as a natural corridor connecting the prairies to the Continental Divide.

"Bear-y" happy to announce (& shamelessly steal #IBAEdmonton2024's poster) the start of my PhD at @UAlberta this fall on grizzly bear habitat use & reproductive success using #LTER data from the Flathead & BC, mentored by power co-supervisor combo Dr. Garth Mowat & @AEDerocher!

[Hadas Weiss @weiss_hadas]

ever since i was a little girl i wanted to fill a gap in the literature

[Sarah Elmeligi, MLA Banff-Kananaskis @ElmeligiSarah]

They might not be calling it a "hunt", but recent moves by @dtloewen allow for public killing of bears. This won't resolve conflict. It will result in more dead bears. There is no data to support this and it goes against the Provincial Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan.

officially a bachelor of science! i’ve had the privilege of doing some pretty cool things during undergrad 🐻‍❄️🔥🏔
