Dr Hannah Cubaynes, a researcher from the ‪@BritishAntarcticSurvey‬, has developed a new way to monitor wildlife from space.

The research has reduced the cost and risk of surveys and helped turn thousands of people worldwide into engaged citizen scientists, all to the benefit of wildlife including whales and walruses.

The data collected through the research will help us understand how populations of wildlife in remote areas are doing, and how they’re changing over time.

Hannah is a finalist in the NERC Impact Awards 2023, which shine a spotlight on the UK science at the heart of the responsible management of our planet. The awards celebrate NERC-funded scientists, as individuals or teams, whose work has had a big impact on the environment, economy or society.
