Field Frame Friday: Water you up to?

Darien Satterfield and Meghan Holst rotate a calibration cube. The cube is used to reconstruct the 3D view that two GoPros in stereo capture. The videos are used to record fish swimming behaviors in the field. [Photo and caption by Darien Satterfield][Edited by Ian Ramshorn Haliburton]  

Field Notes: Termite Trials & Tribulations

Data collection can be one of the toughest, yet most rewarding and exciting parts of the PhD journey. But no one could prepare me for the tiresome and emotional rollercoaster I was about to step onto with my first termite experiment. My past research experiences were with ants and bees, both fairly manageable animal colonies…

Field Frame Friday: The Way of the Wetland

Lynette Williams surveys with a spotting scope to document variations in waterbird community structure between managed wetlands in Suisun Marsh (pictured) and recently restored passive tidal wetlands. In addition to bird surveys, Lynette dons her waders and assesses macroinvertebrate communities, zooplankton abundances, and water quality.

Field Frame Friday: Sea Turtle Meets Sea Cube

A curious turtle inspects a calibration cube used to reconstruct the 3D view that two GoPros capture in stereo. The videos are used to record fish swimming behaviors in the field. This work was done in Bonaire in April 2023 by Darien Satterfield.  [Photo and caption by Darien Satterfield] [Edited by Ian Ramshorn Haliburton]
