Learning to take bearings with a compass in #ENSC401 field course 🧪

First day of @ucalgaryscience.bsky.social ENSC401 - Environmental Science Field School. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!! 🧪⚒️ (pics from last year's course)

Today we’re conducting vegetation surveys in #ENSC401 environmental science field class 🧪

Yep, the @ucalgary.bsky.social kananaskis field station is not a bad place to call home for a week of #ENSC401 field school.

Today, we’re rafting the Bow River mapping bank swallow habitat in ENSC401. Do YOU get to go rafting in your university program? If not, you should come study environmental science at @ucalgary.bsky.social @ucalgaryscience.bsky.social 🧪⚒️

Today in @ucalgaryscience.bsky.social #ENSC401 class, we're compressing a semester of GIS lessons into 8 hours. The first activity was to load up some data and play with the symbology to make the ugliest map possible. Which is your favourite? #mappychat 🧪

Today our #ENSC401 students are on the river making discharge measurements and taking water samples to calculate chloride fluxes 🧪⚒️

Today’s #ENSC401 activities involved counting and identifying macroinvertebrates in a couple of different settings. 🧪
