Timelapse wood monitoring network - Fort Fitzgerald
This project aims to qualitatively describe and quantitatively estimate volumes of driftwood that are exported to the Arctic Ocean through the Mackenzie River Basin in northern Canada. Work from this project has been featured in a National Geographic blog (http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2015/0...
