Greetings!
In a delightful twist of Earth Day serendipity, I officially accepted a summer position today working with the Forest Ecology Research Group (FERG) at Wilfrid Laurier University.

In a couple weeks, I will be leaving for Yellowknife, NWT with Jason Paul to collect field data for his M.Sc. thesis. In short, Jason is examining ecological and geological drivers of near-surface ground ice in fine-grained permafrost soils. I'll be helping out with data and sample collection.
I'm excited to learn more about the social implications for this research, as the findings may give northern communities an affordable option to predict and mitigate infrastructure damage due to climate change.

And just like that, my whole life goes back into boxes. One of my favourite parts of field season is going shopping for gear (especially new socks). I'll aim to make one more post before leaving for the north, but if that doesn't happen - see you in the Knife!
