Hello everyone (many of you are interested in polar science),
Next week the Polar Ecology seminar series ( 
https://www2.whoi.edu/site/pole/events/ ) 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 :)
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.

“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."
