There's more to harvesting than pulling plants out of the farm, there's also planning where it goes and how it's packaged. In the latest post, pull back the curtain what makes harvest possible: hubs.ly/Q01k8WSb0 #verticalfarming #hydroponics

Adding chemical fertilizers to test the effect of nutrients on invasive plant survival & performance in the tundra. After a week, I’ll be adding seeds & transplanting several widespread weedy invasive species 🌱 #KotanenLab

"Spending hours in a container filled with plants you’ve grown from seed doesn't always feel like work." Read to reveal what spinach look likes week to week (spoiler alert: it grows fast!) and daily tasks that keep plants happy: hubs.ly/Q01jlsct0 #CEA #hydroponics

Just finished our night measurements, there were some moments that weren’t so bad ..

Get ready for the second in our series showing what it's like to grow food using water! Fiona with @ChurchillNSC's Rocket Greens is sharing what it's like to seed, transplant, grow, and harvest. Today she covers transplanting: hubs.ly/Q01hTYqp0 #CEA

Day 2: In the Port of Churchill gallery, high above the Churchill River estuary, with @Oceans_North’s field scientist and the @ChurchillNSC observing beluga whale behaviour in the absence of vessels.

Step inside a modular farm to explore what it's like to be a hydroponic grower! Fiona with @ChurchillNSC's Rocket Greens will share what it’s like to seed, transplant, grow, and harvest. Her first blog covers where it all starts: seeding! hubs.ly/Q01hpWzK0

We've been working with @ChurchillNSC to assess how #belugas interact w/ whale-watching boats & commercial ships arriving at the port of Churchill. This research will help inform a sustainable approach to tourism, an important part of the local economy oceansnorth.org/en/blog/2020/0… 5/6

Lunchtime for a mom with 2 cubs-of-the-year. We're not sampling family groups so we just flew by these bears. They were sitting on top of a seal kill & weren't too interested in us. The cubs are a good size for being just 1.5 months out of the den - a good mom!

We had a fabulous send-off in our last night in Churchill: listened to a wolf pack howling under the Northern Lights right from the balcony of @ChurchillNSC! A great way to cap off a successful winter field season.

View from @ChurchillNSC now. We're waiting for our helicopter so we can head north to the sea ice not far away. Weather would have kept us from flying: we need low winds & sun to find polar bears. Flat light like today make it impossible to see tracks & that's how we find bears.
