I've been lax on Twitter lately, but I definitely want to share my new paper on the state of drone research with seals and sea lions! Thanks @dioptrica for your mentorship, encouragement, and coauthorship on this project. Take a look, it's open access! doi.org/10.1111/mam.12325
Congrats @GregDLarsen on recent paper in Mammal Review detailing present & future applications of drones in the study & conservation of pinnipeds! Check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @MarineUAS @DukeU @DukeEnvironment @WakeForest @silmanmr @2xjswenson #drones4Good
If I leave academia, this is the top reason why. I make less as a postdoc at a private university than I did 7 years ago, working as an academic editor with only a bachelor's degree. And I am expected to move every couple years until I maybe get tenure?

Found this visualization during some post-dissertation cleanup: elevation data from satellite (in 2-m resolution!) overlaid on Sentinel-2 imagery of SW Anvers Island. Special thanks to @polargeospatial for generating the DEMs that rounded out my chapter for @PalmerLTER!
Grateful to be a part of this! Always a pleasure to ✍️ and publish with @clifgray and our colleagues working on ocean color.
As per usual thanks to the team that made this happen @MarineUAS and across institutions: @aewindle @kiwijuliandale @Grogology @dioptrica and non twitter folks @DukeMarineLab @UMCES @NavyResearchLab
And here are two examples of crossing the Gulf Stream front during this work!

Come work with us!
We're looking for a highly motivated UAS pilot/geospatial analyst to support the ongoing development of new & existing research & conservation programs.
Position based in Durham, NC & has 2 years funding w/ possibility of extension.

I'm proud to finally share my first first-author publication (!), a summary + analysis of fine-scale seal and sea lion distributions on land, w/ drone data from a collaboration of @MarineUAS, the Aleut Community of Saint Paul, and NOAA's Marine Mammal Lab. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/1…

P.S. I made this poster with ArcGIS and PowerPoint because I'm trying to defend this summer and don't have time to learn illustrator. Just my measly contribution to the poster riots in #AcademicTwitter! – at Beaufort, NC
I'm proud to share this poster summarizing work done by our @BassConnections team throughout the two-semester course I've been leading. Our students tackled some challenging data-wrangling skills in #gis and #remotesensing to study the changing biogeography of Antarctica!

Just want to share this again, if you have a student that identifies as a Black women or YOU identify as a Black women in the fields of ecology, evolution, or marine science: SIGN UP to a part of #BWEEMS. It is a FREE community of Black women, helping and supporting each other.
If you identify as a Black women in Ecology, Evolution or Marine Science, please sign up! we have virtual events happening every month this year and its FREE !!!

Grateful to be included in this paper - @clifgray is really advancing the limits of oceanography at scales that are so hard to study. I'm proud that I get to assist in fieldwork and write-ups! – at Morehead City, NC
My first chapter is out!! @Grogology @dioptrica and I discuss the challenges and promise of drones in biological/optical oceanography and share an optimistic vision for the future.
Paper at doi.org/10.1002/fee.2472 or bit.ly/3sGJlor if you don't have access.
Today I wrote a paragraph for my discussion that boils down to "We made these decisions and got these models. You could make different decisions and get different models." – at Beaufort, NC
I would like to know the vaccination status of Santa's reindeer before he enters our house please thank you 😷 – at Waterford, CT
A @Nature paper reports the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in more than 35% of 360 white-tailed deer tested in northeast Ohio. At least three viral lineages from humans were found in the animals alongside evidence of deer-to-deer transmission. go.nature.com/3ErEVWm
Nice work Patrick! It's been a blast helping with your field work and watching the data come together, pushing the frontiers of integrative ocean sampling across scales. – at Beaufort, NC
Just in the nick of time! Sharing some work with @aewindle, @kiwijuliandale, @Grogology, and @dioptrica at #AGU21. Giving virtual @AGU another go this year.
If interested in ocean optics, above water radiometry, drones, frontal zones and more come by our talk in session B13A!
I love a good academic soapbox rant: here is Henry W. Elliott in 1882, complaining that the public assumes that all #pinnipeds look like harbor seals. [from "Seal-Islands of Alaska"]
For my Duke @BassConnections course, students collaboratively assembled a timeline of Antarctic exploration and resource exploitation. I think it was a fun online exercise and really shows how the two histories overlap and intertwine:

Congrats Seth et al. on this great work - moving conservation toward incorporating more complete systems, and hopefully yielding more effective outcomes! – at Beaufort, NC

Another glamor video of the R/V Nanuq with island Beehive B in the background, featuring a drone-curious tufted puffin. Video collected after a seabird survey at Beehive B by @marine_uas pilot yours truly.
