UA Fairbanks Institute of Arctic Biology As a PhD candidate, Chelsea Smith took some of the first sediment cores on Toolik Lake for her TUNDRA award research to better understand if Arctic lakes are carbon sinks or sources as the region warms. #49HoursForAlaska #UAFGivingDay givingday.alaska.edu/amb/toolik

UA Fairbanks Institute of Arctic Biology Assist. prof UA Fairbanks Morag Clinton looked for emerging diseases in Arctic grayling in Toolik Lake. She's hoping to identify how varied parasitic burdens influence overall fish immunology & how that changes with warming. #49HoursForAlaska #UAFGivingDay givingday.alaska.edu/amb/toolik
