Alex Derian is a Ph.D. student in the Environmental and Life Sciences department who takes us on a journey into the Inuit Traditional Territory to study some adorable furry skeletons. From ice to isotopes, Alex tries to piece together the lives of Arctic foxes and how Inuit people may have shaped how these foxes interacted with the world around them. Come with us as we learn how Inuit people and Arctic foxes cohabitated in the far north - a region rich in culture, biology, and human-species interactions!
