In this activity, students will use data collected about two male arctic ground squirrels by researchers at Toolik Field Station in northern Alaska. Each squirrel had a lightlogger to record light intensity (lux) and an implanted data logger to record internal body temperature (°C). Students work individually or in pairs to analyze the data sets and interpret the results
PolarTREC Teacher Chantelle Rose conducted this PolarConnect event while aboard the USCGC Healy on 7 December 2011. There is a short gap in the audio recording of the presentation. Only one question about capture nets is missing from recording.
