Our 3rd in a Series of Profiles of B-009 Team 2024 Field Researchers:
2024 Field Team member Elisabeth Krieger is interviewed by Field Team colleague Abram Brown in this new project video produced on location in the Weddell Seal Population Study Area of Erebus Bay, Antarctica!
Elisabeth describes her biggest surprises about working in Antarctica with Weddell seals, including the McMurdo Station community's interest in the lives of these seals. She noted in a previous field blog post:
Hi! My name is Elisabeth (she/her). I’m originally from Portland, Oregon, and this will be my first season in Antarctica. I’ve worked in the wildlife field for the last several years and recently completed my master’s degree. Most of my work has been on ungulate species like elk and mule deer in the state of Montana. I am just excited to experience a unique environment unlike any I’ve worked in previously. I’m guessing we will tag 689 pups this year! If I could possess any animal adaptation, it would be to run like a pronghorn.
