Churchill Beluga Monitoring Project

Pilot project from the University of Manitoba Centre for Earth Observation Science with the goal of understanding beluga movement in the Churchill River estuary and beluga response to environmental and anthropogenic factors. To monitor belugas three techniques were implimented, passive acousitc monitoring, a time-lapse camera system and video recordings from a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

本数据集相关的试点项目由曼尼托巴大学地球观测科学中心（University of Manitoba Centre for Earth Observation Science）发起，旨在探究丘吉尔河河口（Churchill River estuary）的白鲸（beluga）活动规律，以及白鲸对环境与人为活动因素的响应。为监测白鲸，研究采用了三种技术手段：被动声学监测（passive acoustic monitoring）、延时摄像系统，以及无人机（unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV）视频录制。
