Seals from Space: Developing techniques to use satellite remote sensing to census pack-ice seals in the Prydz Bay region of East Antarctica
These data should be used with caution. The data have been assessed by AADC staff as being of low quality, and updates or contextual information have not been provided by the responsible scientist .
