Current Research

I am currently studying the migration of Tundra Swans breeding near the Colville River Delta on Alaska's North Slope using color coded neck/tarsus bands, satellite telemetry, and radio telemetry. I will be monitoring the migration in real-time, and using this monitoring to present a k-12 education program that will engage students in discussion with each other about the migration they are watching unfold.
