Help scientists learn about penguins and the Southern Ocean marine habitat by tagging images collected from environmental cameras in Antarctica. This project will lead to better understanding of these aquatic flightless birds, their over-wintering, the timing of breeding, and the impact of predators.
Help analyze deep-sea videos - 15 seconds at a time. NEPTUNE Canada invites you to participate in ocean science research (no experience required!). By playing Digital Fishers you’ll help researchers gather data from video, and unveil the mechanisms shaping the animal communities inhabiting the deep.
Classify different types of plankton to help analyze ocean health. Plankton are a critical source of food for life in the ocean – without plankton, we would have a lifeless ocean. Analyzing when and where plankton occur at different depths helps build a better understanding of the ocean from small to global scales. As a group...
Help decode the language of whales. The Whale FM project ames to increase our understanding of what whales are saying to each other. Whales talk to each other in quite sophisticated ways, yet the communication of killer whales and pilot whales is still poorly understood. By listening to and categorizing whale...
Help create weather models that forecast the future of Earth's weather and climate. Logbooks detailing weather conditions were maintained by historic ships using pen and ink. Many of these logbooks have not been digitally transcribed and thus we have gaps in our knowledge and data about old weather patterns. This project asks...
Comb the ocean floor with a treasure trove of seafloor imagery. The Seafloor Explorer project ames to create high-resolution maps of animal habitats, including how animals are distributed relative to their predators and how species distributions change over time. This can help with conservation efforts and better our...
