STEEP AND DEEP: TERRAIN AND CLIMATE FACTORS EXPLAIN BROWN BEAR (URSUS ARCTOS) ALPINE DEN SITE SELECTION TO GUIDE HELI-SKIING MANAGEMENT.

Steep and deep: Terrain and climate factors explain brown bear (Ursus arctos) alpine den site selection to guide heli-skiing management.

Winter recreation and tourism continue to expand worldwide, and where these activities overlap with valuable wildlife habitat, there is greater potential for conservation concerns.Wildlife populations can be particularly vulnerable to disturbance in alpine habitats as helicopters and snowmachines are increasingly used to access remote backcountry t

An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Based Gas Sampling System for Analyzing CO2 and Atmospheric Particulate Matter in Laboratory

We developed and tested an unmanned aerial vehicle-based gas sampling system (UGSS) for collecting gases and atmospheric particulate matter (PM).The system applies an alternative way of collecting both Leash Holder vertical and horizontal transects of trace gases in order to analyze them in the laboratory.To identify the best position of the UGSS i
