Featured Presentation: Satellites Over Seals: Empowering
Lifelong Learning Through Citizen Science in Antarctica
|
9:30 AM - 10:30 AM
|
|
Room: Grand Ballroom A, Duke Energy Convention Center
|
Satellites Over Seals is an interdisciplinary project
initiated in 2016, which seeks to informally engage citizens with remote sensing
and wildlife ecology to ultimately determine the fate of one of Antarctica’s
most iconic mammals: the Weddell seal. An ice-dependent species, the Weddell
seal lives in some of the most remote habitats in the world, ironically making
it perfectly suited for detection on high-resolution satellite imagery. In this
talk, Michelle will introduce challenges in understanding the ecology of
Southern Ocean predators, and how engaging with citizen scientists via new
technologies mutually benefits scientific pursuit and lifelong engagement with
the natural world. |
