Summary

This is a child item of the USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9A7ITFH This dataset is one table with archival logger data containing measures of tri-axial acceleration and ambient temperature measured at 16 Hz in collars (Vertex Plus collar with camera option, Vectronic Aerospace GmbH, Berlin, Germany) attached to 20 polar bears that were instrumented on land near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada for 19 - 23 days in 2019, 2021, and 2022.
