With this study reserachers present a three program analysis suite that measures baleen whales and compensates for lens distortion and corrects scaling error to produce 11 morphometric attributes from sUAS imagery. The program is freely available.

Researchers use high-speed videography to better understand the filter structure, hydrodynamics and animal behavior that affect the feeding selectivity of Oikopleura dioca.

Confluence is a newsletter of Oregon Sea Grant. Articles feature the supported research and events of the program.

Researchers find drones allows significantly greater access and video footage of whales with less distrubance to the whales and lower cost.

Researchers show that the upward movement of young Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) emerging from gravel nests is influenced by the geomagnetic field.
