Fieldwork can be both fun and frustrating!
Our climate change researchers maintain weather stations that are sometimes damaged by snow, wind and wildlife. This data helps forecast streamflow in a changing climate and helps Yukon Energy Corporation plan and prepare for hydro-security.
See our researchers in action - maintaining weather stations at the scenic headwaters of the Yukon River. Thanks to our research assistant Stephanie Saal for taking time to create this video!
