Technology tools for Field Stations and Marine Labs // Herramientas tecnológicas para estaciones de campo y laboratorios marinos
2026-01-29 12:00 - 13:00
In recent years, technological innovation and applied research has created a suite of new accessible tools for biodiversity and environmental monitoring that could provide a lot of value to the work that takes place in FSMLs. Come learn more about things like abiotic environmental monitoring, acoustics, animal telemetry, camera traps, machine learning/AI, radio networks, eDNA, and more. Shah Selbe, of FieldKit.org, has spent the last decade working with field stations, protected areas, and marine reserves to identify and deploy appropriate technologies to meet the needs of research and conservation efforts in those places. In this talk he will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of deployment of these sorts of technologies and his work with UCLA’s field station in Cameroon.

En los últimos años, la innovación tecnológica y la investigación aplicada han creado un conjunto de nuevas herramientas accesibles para el monitoreo de la biodiversidad y el medio ambiente, que podrían aportar un gran valor al trabajo que se realiza en las estaciones de campo. Venga a aprender más sobre temas como el monitoreo ambiental abiótico, la acústica, la telemetría animal, las cámaras trampa, el aprendizaje automático/la inteligencia artificial, las redes de radio, el ADN ambiental y mucho más. Shah Selbe, de FieldKit.org, ha dedicado la última década a trabajar con estaciones de campo, áreas protegidas y reservas marinas para identificar e implementar tecnologías adecuadas que satisfagan las necesidades de investigación y conservación en estos lugares. En esta charla, hablará sobre las ventajas y desventajas de la implementación de este tipo de tecnologías y su trabajo con la estación de campo de la UCLA en Camerún.
