Hello everyone (many of you are interested in polar science),<br>
Next week the Polar Ecology seminar series (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www2.whoi.edu/site/pole/events/">https://www2.whoi.edu/site/pole/events/</a> ) is restarting on June
20th. The first speaker is quantitative ecologist Carole Hall, PhD
student from Stony Brook University working with Heather Lynch (

Carole is an applied math PhD student interested in the
intersection of math, animal behavior, image processing, climate
change, polar ecology and penguins :)<br>
She will be at WHOI on June 20 and 21 and I am reaching out to
promote her seminar and see if you (especially JP students and
Postdocs) are interested in meeting with her during this time. If
so, please reach out to me as I am preparing a schedule. Below is
the abstract of her talk.<br>

“Determining the drivers of abundance trends in populations is key
to effectively implementing environmental policy and conservation.
An abundance of data necessary to understand these relationships
are at fine spatial scales, and to accurately gauge trends it is
imperative to include historical time series information.
Antarctic seabirds are important indicators of climate change, but
the costly resources required to travel to and gather data in
Antarctica underline the need for heightened reliance on remote
surveillance methods such as satellite imagery. Unfortunately,
large proportions of long-term available imagery are of poor
quality. We present methods to super-resolve information from low
resolution satellite imagery to uncover the spatial dynamics of
Adélie penguin colonies. Additionally, we uncover the quantitative
relationship between Adélie penguin colony configurations and
molecular physics that has previously been unreported. In this
study, we aim to better equip scientists with tools to study
population dynamics with data captured from satellite imagery when
high-resolution images are limited or unavailable."<br>
