Jeramie Strickland is a Wildlife Biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He works at the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, which is one of the most visited refuges in the nation.

I study the interesting ways that nest temperatures of turtles influence the eggs inside. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing music and looking for reptiles and amphibians outside.

Yo estudio las formas interesantes que la temperatura de los nidos de tortugas influye en los huevos que hay dentro. En mi tiempo libre, disfruto leer escuchar música y buscar reptiles y anfibios en el ambiente.

I am an eco-hydrologist which means that I study how ecosystems and their components interact with the water cycle. For example, I might measure sap flowing in a tree to estimate how much water it drinks during a day or year, which is easier said than done.

I love to be out in nature (and travel!) so I have lived and done fieldwork in pretty cool and diverse places of our planet, mostly in the tropics. Some of my time is also spent in the lab preparing or building equipment to deploy in the field and doing experiments, as well as in front of a computer analyzing a lot of data.
