NFWF Grant Profile

Perform remote monitoring of tundra-nesting birds and small mammals in Alaska’s North Slope to determine if roads on the Arctic Coastal Plain impact common species and examine the effect of human infrastructure on populations. Project will use remote monitoring tools including nest bowl temperature loggers, micro time-lapse nest cameras, and ground-facing infrared small mammal cameras to gather data on abundance, behavior, and nest predators along transects perpendicular to oil field roads.
