Summary

Nutrition label

88% Informative

Brendan Cottrell studies the application of remote sensing and drone technology in marine mammal conservation at the Applied Remote Sensing Laboratory at McGill University .

He is the first author of a Frontiers in Marine Science article in which he and his co-authors investigated the practicality of using smartphones to create 3D scans of stranded marine life.

Open science has expanded the reach of this research by making the lessons learned available to a global audience.

Sharing these tools also improves data collection and standardization.

By fostering collaboration and transparency, open science ensures that valuable stranding data is better collected, shared, and used to advance scientific and conservation efforts everywhere.
