IFISC Seminar on Wednesday Jan 11, 2023 at 14:30 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Oceanic big data for marine megafauna conservation Speaker: Jorge P. Rodriguez, Instituto Mediterráneo de Estudios Avanzados (IMEDEA) Abstract: <p>Large datasets have the potential to provide insights to solve problems such as the environmental challenges arising from the impact of human behaviour. In this context, marine researchers are developing a data culture to address the conservation of the oceans, including, for example, animal geolocalization, environmental satellite observations or human activities tracking. In this talk, I will introduce a global analysis of marine animal movement and the overlaps between marine megafauna trajectories and anthropogenic hazards, providing examples of the suggestions for conservation that our approaches may reveal.<br /> References<br /> Sequeira, Rodríguez, Eguíluz, et al.
