measurement
FLIR thermal imaging of alpine patterned ground
Forward Looking Infrared thermal photography combined with machine learning data sculpture techniques to visualize temperature patterns in periglacial environments
analytical
Minimum convex polygon method (Sciuridae)
Calculation of individual animal home ranges using 95% minimum convex polygons from location data, with specific criteria for minimum observation requirements.
sampling
camera trapping
Motion-activated camera deployment to detect and monitor presence of snow leopards and other wildlife in remote mountain environments.
observational
Radio telemetry nest monitoring of Gunnison Sage-Grouse (Animalia)
Daily tracking of radio-marked female grouse to locate nests and determine nest success through triangulation and minimal-disturbance monitoring until nest fate determination.
