Description
Summary:These data are from 5 adult female polar bears instrumented in the southern Beaufort Sea, April to October 2014. The dataset is comprised of two data packages: 1) contains GPS and Argos locations collected by satellite-linked GPS receivers mounted on external collars, and 2) contains archival logger data including measures of tri-axial acceleration and conductivity. These data were collected to gain insights into the movement patterns, behaviors, and energetics of adult female polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea.
