Seabirds – including penguins – are amongst the most threatened animals on the planet. They are also very useful indicators of wider environmental change. But how do you effectively monitor species which live in hard-to-reach places, such as Antarctica? A team of scientists at the University of Oxford has come up with a solution: a large network of remote time-lapse cameras, positioned to overlook seabird colonies. The images from these cameras are collected each year, and used to examine parameters such breeding success. To help with the image processing, the photographs are uploaded to two citizen science projects, Penguin Watch and Seabird Watch. To get involved, please visit penguinwatch.org or seabirdwatch.org! #penguins #seabirds #timelapse #Antarctica #citizenscience #machinelearning
