  • Dr. Steve Amstrup, USGS biologist, takes the skull measurement of a large male polar bear on the ice pack of the Beaufort Sea. A group of biologists lead by Dr. Amstrup, head to the Beaufort Sea pack ice each year to collect data on this region's polar bear population. I spent two weeks helping them with their research and documenting their project. This is part of the Tri-P, Polar Population Project, sponsored in part by Polar Bears International to census Arctic regions for an accurate count of the world's remaining polar bears

  • Dr. Steven Amstrup, lead scientist for the US Geological Survey, darts a female polar bear on the Beaufort Sea. Darting the bears from a helicopter can be extremely treacherous. The pilot has to hover over a running animal that is twisting and turning, dodging and ducking, an animal that feels it's running for its life. This bear is hit directly between the shoulders with an immobilizing dart. It takes anywhere from 4-15 minutes for the drug to take effect and immobilize the bear which will be out for 1-2 hours as the scientists process the data.

  • Dr Amstrup prepares to attach a GPS satellite tracking collar to an immobilized polar bear on the Beaufort Sea. The collars are placed on females exclusively since the necks of males get too large for them to work properly. The collars are a high tech way to follow these animals far out onto the ice where humans can't go. The bears are tracked by satellites which helps the scientists determine the home range of individual animals and other details about a particular bear's life such as length of time spent resting or hunting in one area.
