Franklin's Ground Squirrel Research - Field research assistant (Phase 3)

Franklin's ground squirrels are a poorly-studied species in Alberta that may be at risk of extinction, and to address this we are collaborating with Nature Alberta to learn more about this species. In this project, the student will complete field surveys and will also lead outreach activities with the public. The outreach events and activities will help promote the project in order to encourage data submission from people across the province, enabling everyone to help contribute to our knowledge of this species. The student will also complete data entry remotely.

Franklin's Ground Squirrel Research - Field research assistant

This project is collecting data on Franklin’s ground squirrels, a poorly-studied species in Alberta. The student will conduct field surveys aimed at detecting this species in various locations around Alberta. They will also do data entry remotely.  

Franklin’s ground squirrel research

Franklin’s ground squirrel is a mammal species in Alberta that is likely in decline. The student will complete data analysis on audio recordings from Autonomous Recorder Units in central Alberta to determine if this species can be detected in new regions in the province. The student will also assist with preparations for the upcoming 2024 field season focusing on detecting this species throughout the province.
