Neil Hammerschlag and his team at UM have announced the release of a new activity application for marine animal tracking. This technology will allow researchers to monitor how marine animals change their activity levels in response to environmental conditions and predict their responses to global warming.

“The ability to now remotely track how animals are behaviorally responding to changes in environmental conditions over several months and across vast expanses of open ocean really opens up a lot of new research opportunities,” said Hammerschlag. “This is especially important for understanding if and how these species respond to climate change.”
