I study heat stress effects on nesting common eider ducks in the Canadian Arctic by analyzing their heart rate and incubation behaviour in response to weather variables, such as ambient temperature. The goal of my study is to determine a cold-adapted sea duck's vulnerability to rapid warming in the Arctic. This research was performed within the Inuit Nunangat, on the island of Qiqiktakuluk, in collaboration with Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Irniurviit Co-Management Committee of Coral Harbour. After my degree, I hope to continue studying vulnerable seabird populations to help inform policy action!
