  1. Remote video and time-lapse video for public understanding of science research. Janie Schielack Larry Griffing

  2. The River of Grizzlies - McNeil River • Video stream delivered to the web by SeeMoreWildlife (CEO: Daniel Zatz) remote video camera. Video Camera Solar Panel Power

  3. McNeil River Sanctuary is remote

  4. Setting up the Remote CameraJune 2001 – Flew to Alaska

  5. Panoramic shot of the Falls

  6. Research and Grizzly Bear Video • Old ways of studying bears -- hands on, catch and release, radio collars. • More stress for bears, • Can only be done by a few people • New way to study bears and other wildlife -- remote video • Doesn’t disturb the animals • Can be done by ANYONE with internet and a good interface

  7. Web Discovery Interface for Education – video and rogue’s gallery Calendar and Times

  8. Use of bear data for starting students on scientific inquiry • Show how science is done: • an iterative process of initial questioning, • observations, • background research into what people already know – judging the quality of that research, • forming testable questions, • experiments to testable questions

  9. The different objectives of public access to web-based interface • For science: The interface helps answer questions about the unknown. • How much distance do bears keep between each other at special feeding sites? • Do bears have a culture? • Need access to camera control and video database For science education: The gateway explains and allows participation in science. • Provides unbiased background information. • Allows the student to view information as it acquired • Need access to video database and streaming server

  10. Example of Archived Video from 2002 • Video 1 transmitted to Homer AK by microwave and saved digitally prior to web transmission. • Camera control was from Texas

  11. Approaches Water Sit – Stand – Stand -Water Sit -Water Stand - Rock Sit - Shore Sit - Rock Stand - Shore Scans - Repetitively moves head back and forth scanning water Scanning- Slow Scanning- Fast Rushing Physical Fishing – Diving Fish Capturing MouthCapture PawSwipe* Carries Fish Headshaking Eating FishingEthogram • Behavior in video can be compared to known fishing behaviors. • Students and the public discover new behaviors

  12. Another Example of 2002 Video • Video 2 transmitted to Homer AK by microwave and saved digitally prior to web transmission. • Camera control was from Texas

  13. Example of 2002 Web-Delivered Video • Video transmitted to web and screen-captured in Texas • Lower resolution • Camera control – mouse cursor – used in Texas can be seen.

  14. Video from Summer 2004 • Video transmitted by satellite (!) directly to Texas, where it is screen-captured. Sped up 8x faster than real time. • The video is one of the first examples of female choice in mating in bears – the female follows the male, rather than the male “herding” the female
