Published purpose
This project will review how glacier retreat is reshaping northern ecosystems and habitats for culturally important species by developing predictive models for fish in glacial lakes and rivers and assessing wildlife use of newly exposed floodplains. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines remote sensing, fieldwork, and camera traps in partnership with the Taku River Tlingit First Nation, it examines habitat suitability and species expansion under changing climate conditions. This research will improve understanding of ecosystem change and inform conservation and management in rapidly deglaciating regions.
