5. Doug speaks at the World Economic Forum on how science and technology can create a healthy future for our oceans.


6. Studying the largest constituents of ecosystems requires the development and adaptation of specialized technologies for visualizing important attributes of their ecology. This sample clip illustrates the implementation of dual-frequency sonar imaging to monitor patterns of manta ray movement into coral reef lagoons.


7. Enjoy a live HD view of one of the most important study sites for McCauley Lab research on the ecosystem ecology of the common hippopotamus. Two video towers host four cameras and three microphones that live stream 10MB worth of data to global viewers from our research site. This project was made possible through funding from the Annenberg Foundation/Explore.org.
