Polar Bear Response to Sea Ice Loss

Can you tell us your hypothesis on how the Polar Bears will behave towards you? How close do you anticipate on getting to them?

Hi -
 Many of my students have asked the same question.  I hope to get pretty close to the bears and assist the research team with taking measurements and samples from the bears.  In order to keep us and the bears safe, the bears will be tranquilized while we are taking data samples. So my hypothesis is that the bears won't notice us much!
 
Thanks,Cristina
