Summary:
Dr. Garrott studies the dynamics of the Erebus Bay Weddell seal population. In addition to annual census surveys, the team is developing a digital photography system to estimate seal weights from body morphometrics. The DGPS system was used this season in a proof-of-concept project which consisted of setting up a portable RTK repeater at various locations to alleviate poor line-of-sight around the Dellbridge Islands. The group will integrate the RTK system with the photography system to obtain meter-level resolution of seal locations during the census. |
