CH Faculty Member Dr Cherie Westbrook is about to depart with a group of students on a research expedition to Tierra del Fuego, at the extreme southern tip of South America, to study the ecohydrological impacts of invasive beaver.
Departing on February 10, they will head to Ushuaia, the most southerly city in the world (intriguingly, it is at roughly the same latitude as Saskatoon – 45º South, instead of North).
The expedition will be documented at regular intervals through a blog at beaverlady.tumblr.com.
