Concepts Explored in this Video
Abiotic Processes: Monitoring soil moisture helps us understand hydrological systems
Biotic Processes: Comparing spawning times and sites of farmed and wild scallops helps us understand differences in Biology and how larvae might be mixing; We can learn from nature’s design & growth of tree roots to build better buildings and shorelines
Climate Change: Data and partnerships can make our communities more resilient to fires & flood in this changing climate
Culture, Sociology, Politics: Researchers can work with farmers, fisherman, and industry to understand scallop reproduction & populations
Technology: Photogrammetry allows us to model complex systems like tree roots; Technology allows water quality sampling at different depths; Weather stations with soil moisture monitoring & fire cameras provide critical data
