YukonU Research Stories

YukonU is distributing 500 STEM kits to children across the Yukon through the organization, Let’s Talk Science. These fun and engaging kits don’t require technology or internet access and are meant to promote “off-line learning” to kids who don’t have access. They are intended for children in grades 4 to 6 and thanks to David Silas they will be sent out this month. David is our First Nations Engagement Advisor with the YukonU Research Centre. 

Wolves use seismic lines for hunting and ease of travel according to YukonU’s Dr. Fiona Schmiegelow and the team of researchers who recently co-authored a paper published in Nature.  

These researchers recommend land restoration in caribou ranges to reduce wolf use of these industrial disturbances for enhanced movement and hunting prey.
