In a podcast episode, researchers in Australia discussed their successful use of camera tags on endangered sea lions to map benthic habitats in Southern Australia. By equipping the sea lions with small, lightweight cameras, researchers were able to track their movements and visually document the diverse benthic habitats they encountered. The data obtained from the animal-borne video and movement data provided critical information for mapping previously unmapped benthic habitats on the continental shelf. This method allowed researchers to cover over 5,000 square kilometers of seabed, offering valuable insights into the habitats used by the sea lions. The resulting videos from the camera tags enabled researchers to identify various benthic habitats, including macroalgae reef, macroalgae meadow, bare sand, sponge and sand habitats, invertebrate reefs, and invertebrate boulders. By leveraging the natural movements of these sea lions, researchers were able to gather data on a large scale without the need for expensive equipment like remotely operated vehicles or drones. This approach not only helped in mapping critical habitats for the endangered Australian sea lions but also had broader implications for surveying other marine species of interest. The cost-effectiveness and efficiency of using animals for mapping benthic habitats highlight the potential for this method to be a valuable tool in conservation and exploration efforts. The successful use of sea lions to map benthic habitats demonstrates an innovative and sustainable approach to gathering crucial data for conservation purposes. This method not only benefits the protection of endangered species but also contributes to a better understanding of marine ecosystems and habitats, paving the way for more effective conservation strategies in the future. Camera tags on animals, such as sea lions, have proven to be invaluable tools in gathering data on habitat use and movement patterns. In the podcast episode, researchers in Australia utilized camera tags on endangered sea lions to map benthic habitats in Southern Australia. By equipping the sea lions with small, lightweight cameras, researchers were able to track their movements and visually observe the different habitats they encountered. This innovative approach allowed for the mapping of over 5,000 square kilometers of seabed, providing critical information for the protection of the endangered Australian sea lions. The use of camera tags on animals not only aids in the conservation of specific species but also contributes to broader marine conservation efforts. By studying the habitat use and movement patterns of marine mammals like sea lions, researchers can gain insights into the diversity and distribution of benthic habitats. This information is essential for effective marine conservation planning, as it helps identify critical habitats for protection and informs management strategies for endangered species. The success of using camera tags on sea lions highlights the potential of this technology in advancing marine conservation efforts. By leveraging the natural movements of animals to gather data on underwater habitats, researchers can overcome the challenges associated with traditional mapping methods, such as the high cost of remotely operated vehicles and limited coverage of survey areas. The ability to visually observe and document habitat use through animal-borne cameras opens up new possibilities for studying and protecting marine ecosystems. Overall, the use of camera tags on animals like sea lions represents a promising approach to conservation biology. By harnessing the power of animal movements to collect data on benthic habitats, researchers can enhance their understanding of marine environments and contribute to the preservation of endangered species and marine biodiversity. Proper protocols and care must be followed when using camera tags on animals to ensure their safety and well-being during the research process. In the podcast episode, researchers equipped eight endangered Australian sea lions with small, lightweight cameras to track their movements and map benthic habitats. The cameras and tracking instruments were carefully attached to the sea lions using small pieces of neoprene glued onto their fur, weighing less than one percent of the sea lion's body weight to prevent any negative effects on their swimming abilities. Furthermore, the researchers took precautions to ensure the camera tags did not hinder the sea lions' movements or cause any harm. They monitored the animals closely and recorded over 89 hours of footage over two to three days. Additionally, the researchers sedated the sea lions when retrieving the cameras to prevent any stress or harm to the animals during the process. This approach demonstrates the importance of following proper protocols and care when using camera tags on animals for research purposes. By prioritizing the safety and well-being of the animals, researchers can gather valuable data while minimizing any potential negative impacts on the study subjects. This ethical and responsible approach is essential in wildlife research to ensure the welfare of the animals involved and maintain the integrity of the research findings.

Tony, Stew, and Heatherlee are discussing the use of GIS in wildlife conservation and the importance of considering the cultural and historical context of the environment. GIS, a powerful tool for analyzing and visualizing information, can be used in many ways such as making maps with data that is collected in the field.   Tony, Stew, and Heatherlee also emphasize the importance of understanding the cultural impact of certain things and how it informs their decisions today. The term mythology is used to refer to the idea of mapping out not just physical reality but also the cultural impact of certain things. This highlights the interdisciplinary nature of their work, as it relates to both STEM and Humanities.   The use of GIS in wildlife conservation is a STEM-related field, while the importance of considering cultural and historical context falls under the Humanities. This connection between STEM and Humanities is important in understanding and addressing the complex issues surrounding wildlife conservation.   *Now offering workshops!

Pharmacy accessibility is key for the emerging role of community pharmacists as providers of patient-centered, medication management services in addition to traditional dispensing roles. Community pharmacies may serve as accessible locations for patient-centered, medication management services that enhance the health and wellness of communities. Although chain pharmacies represent the majority of pharmacy locations across the country, access to community pharmacies in rural areas predominantly relies on regional franchises and independently owned pharmacies.  Guest:  Lucas A.

EvariLUX– The Convergence of Regional Illumination Photometers with Geographic Information Systems, A Discussion with Fritz Feiten, Streetlighting Consultant at AmerescoJoin Fritz Feiten and Jim Frazer, former Illuminating Engineering Society Roadway Lighting Committee Chair as they discuss EvariLUX, an innovative 3D approach to planning, visualizing and implementing outdoor lighting applications. EvariLUX overlays IESlight output files, which are unique to each fixture type, onto a three dimensional map. This confluence of datapoints allows a very intuitive visual containing insights such as the actual predicted light level on the pedestrian crosswalk or on your own front door keyhole. The varying heights of poles, spacing of poles, and varying elevations and grades of roads and sidewalks creates a true 3D representation, where under lit and overlit conditions can be quickly observed and corrected.What exactly is EvariLUX?EvariLUX™ is a suite of tools to understand and analyze regional illumination photometrics within a Geographic Information System (GIS). EvariLUX is similar to bringing illumination data into Google Earth. EvariLUX strives to overcome the challenge of comprehensively understanding lighting design across an entire project area. EvariLUX uses IES files and onsite elevation data to creates 2 primary outputs: and illumination surface and illumination volumes. An illumination surface is displayed using points and contours across the project area. Illumination volumes represent the 3D space illuminated above 1 lux.For one EvarlLUX application,  Evari GIS Consulting completed a field audit of more than 60,000 streetlights across the City and empowered City staff to choose between 11 luminaires to install at each location. (Evari GIS Consulting did not make any decisions about which luminaires to use or where they should be installed.) Illumination Points and ContoursIllumination  points and contours provide a complete picture of the seamless underlying values within the illumination surface. The values on the ground are created using real world-elevation.In order to pass as much information as possible, the points and contours are represented by their value, rounded and optimized for performance at different scales.Represented numerically and pictorially are illumination contours - lines of equal illumination levels. Illumination contours and points represent the same underlying illumination surface values in different ways. Like the illumination points dataset, this illumination contour dataset covers all areas above .02 lux. A typical dataset can have over 250,000 individual lines ranging from 0 to 100+ lux.Illumination Volumes are also represented as the 3D space where light is above 1 lux. The illumination volume uses the IES file to determine the lighting conditions after the fixture is installed. Illumination Volumes across a project Many illumination volumes are typical in even a small neighborhood. Each volume is created individually using the prescribed IES file and the on-site elevation. A typical dataset can leverage a variety of different IES files identified earlier across the entire street light count. EvariLUX can use 12, 30 or a hundred different IES files. For more information on the EvariLUX solution and related services from Evari GIS, please visit them at http://evarilux.com/

What better way to empower students to make a change in the world than working on their own campus?  In this episode, Beth Choate explains how campuses can motivate students and instructors to make positive changes in their future homes, future jobs, and all of the places that they'll go.  Choate explains how the students and teachers at Allegheny College have conducted solar panel installation at local churches, used Geographic Information Systems to map out the city and figure out what residents are at greatest risk for flooding, grown their own food in a 3,000 sq. foot garden, and increased the refill filtered water stations from two to 28 stations. She says there are numerous ways to prepare both instructors and students to help facilitate environmental sustainable goals and help your campus go green."If everyone isn't at the  table, then we can't fully understand the depth and breadth of these environmental issues," Choate says.This week's episode is sponsored by the Teaching Professor Conference. 

Over 50 years later Ian McHarg's seminal book Design With Nature is still teaching us how to plan with nature, not against it. “We design with nature, the with is very important.” We are joined in this episode by Frederick Steiner, co-executive director of the Ian L. McHarg Center for Urbanism and Ecology. We dive deep into the parallels McHarg makes between space and the importance of understanding natural processes and ecology. We discuss the connection between McHarg's work overlaying physical maps and today's digital version of Geographic Information Systems. While the book was very much a product of its time, it has proved to also be timeless.Links:PBS Documentary series Race - The Power of an Illusion episode 3—“The House We Live In”: https://www.pbs.org/race/000_About/002_04-about-03.htm Multiply and Subdue the Earth (1969) PBS documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nBFkARCP0I 

In part two of our series on Two-Spirit wellbeing, we continue our conversation with Souksavanh T. Keovorabouth, who is a Diné and Laotian PhD student in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Oregon State University. We dive into a discussion about Two-Spirit Autonomy, and sex and pleasure outside hetero norms. Souksavanh shares how experiencing pleasure can be an expression of sovereignty.Souksavanh T.

Nate Joens was born and raised in Iowa. And in fact, he plans to spend out the rest of his days there, cause he loves it. He lovingly calls it the Silicon Prairie, though he admits that most people don't call it that. He studied at Iowa State University, majoring in Geographic Information Systems and Urban Planning - which is basically mapping on steroids. He learned how to map topography, three dimensionally, using tools like ArcGIS. Outside of tech, he loves to hike, kayak, golf, and generally be outdoors.In college, he was very interested and connected to the real estate industry, as urban planning works closely with realtors. He figured out that lead follow up was a huge pain point for realtors, which peaked his interest. And led him to build some tech to solve the problem.This is the creation story of Structurely.SponsorsCourierImg.lyRoutableCTO.aiCloudways offers peace of mind and flexibility so you can focus on growing your business instead of dealing with server management.
