Toolik Field Station

@Climatologist49 Luckily no, but the larger rigs did.

@Climatologist49 Can confirm — ‘twas a bit icy going up and over Tuesday morning.

Slowly but surely the tundra around @Toolik Field Station is coming alive. Since Friday lots of snow has melted and the flowers have begun to pop.

Next year marks our 50th year as a research station! To celebrate, we’re working with @ArcticScienceJ on a special collection of all things Toolik. Have a Toolik-based research paper you’d like included in the collection? Learn more at cdnsciencepub.com/topic/as-toolik

While out monitoring plants today near @Toolik I heard what could only be described as a bird mimicking a grasshopper. I knew there must be a bluethroat around but I did not have my binoculars. I went back and I found a handful of handsome bluethroat singing away in some willows.

@SarahEvansHydro Congrats Rachel!

A delayed congrats to undergrad researcher Rachel on a stellar thesis looking at water tracks and ice wedges @Toolik! She was a joy to work with & completed her degree, 3 minors, 2 certificates (including env edu), passed the FG, and submitted a publication all before graduating!

@kateehale Great shot with the Molar in the background!

the welcoming committee was out this evening on the North Slope! excited to be back at @Toolik for the fleeting snowmelt and ice break up season.

@uafairbanks scientist Tom Glass was a consultant on the new @BBC series #Mammals. His episode "Cold" features his research on #wolverines and was filmed @Toolik. Check out a clip at the link & B sure 2 catch the series stateside in July! #Nature @BBCEarth bbc.in/4dHfqDz

We’re excited to host the new collaborative institute EvoMe from @WoodwellClimate and @uafairbanks!

@jackiergerson We're excited to welcome you to the station this summer!

Excited to receive a TUNDRA award to start research at @Toolik this summer! I'll be examining the impact of wildfires and warming on Hg export in the Arctic.

We're so excited to announce our third cohort for the Toolik Tundra Award! Join us in extending a big congrats to the awardees. Learn more about the researchers & their projects on our website! And thank you to all who have donated to support this award! uaf.edu/toolik/outreac…

Still alot of snow to move up at Toolik Field Station in order to welcome the researchers who are migrating north along with the birds. Joe is knocking down this pile to make room for more snow piles. The dozer might look small in the photo but it is a large normal sized dozer.

Our seasonal naturalist Seth is back at the station and already spotting incredible wildlife. Muskox battles, endless ptarmigan, migrating birds and more! Read all about it in our Naturalist Journal, published daily. uaf.edu/toolik/edc/jou… 📸Seth Beaudreault

Is it spring? Cold first day up at Toolik with highs near 15 and lows below 0f. Despite the cold it is beautiful with bluebird skies. Not to be out shown the mountains a radiant with alpine glow in the evening and the ptarmigan flicks are getting ever bigger.

How are #Arctic #plantpollinator interactions affected by warming? Check out our new results using #ITEX #opentopchambers. Great leadership by Roxaneh Khorsand! cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/AS…

Excited to see our work help the new BBC series "Mammals" showcase some of the amazing life of a wolverine. We've worked for almost a decade to help ensure the conservation of this species. @Toolik @TheWCS @JonathanSlaght bbc.co.uk/programmes/art…

@ArcticWCS @TheWCS @JonathanSlaght Very cool!

The first siksrik of the year has emerged from hibernation at Toolik! The Toolik ground squirrel population usually wakes a little later than those closer to the Brooks Range. Welcome back to the station, ground squirrel. uaf.edu/toolik/edc/jou… 📸 Mayra Meléndez González

Back up to @Toolik for a few days to show off the station.

The new @uspermafrost FCP is hosting a virtual panel event with @polarsecco to discuss balancing childcare and work responsibilities. This event is free and open to both members and non-members. Please consider donating to the FCP during registration to help support the program!
