On these pages we provide information on some of the novel research approaches and technologies that we have developed and are using in the PEARL.

Telemetry & Remote Sensing:

• Life History Transmitters: New satellite linked archival transmitters for life-long monitoring of marine homeotherms.
• Three-dimensional photogrammetry: Non-invasive estimation of body mass and condition using remote imaging.
• Infrared Thermography: Infrared imaging to collect remote temperature measurements, to estimate health, condition and reproductive status of pinnipeds.

Sensor Developments:

• Innovative Sensors: Novel sensors or sensor applications used for remotely monitoring diving animals.

Analytical Approaches:

• Constraint Lines: Using constraint line analytical approaches to characterize animal performance from telemetry data sets.
• Randomization Methods: Back to the basics for analytical statistics.
