Use of satellite imagery to identify southern right whales ( Eubalaena australis ) on a Southwest Atlantic Ocean breeding ground
Abstract Satellite imagery has been used to improve scientific research worldwide. In this study, the southern right whale ( Eubalaena australis ) was chosen to test the use of medium, high, and very high resolution (VHR) satellite images, on the Brazilian breeding ground. These images were used to...
