Description
Summary:This data package contains digital photos of a walrus haulout location at Cape Greig, on the Alaska Peninsula summer 2023. Photos are taken up to three times daily from a remotely operated camera located on a bluff above the haulout. The camera was installed in the early spring 2023, prior to arrival of walruses at the site. Images are transferred via satellite link. A summary of image collection times is provided as tabular file. The photos are considered sensitive. They are archived at the U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska Science Center (a USGS Trusted Digital Repository). At this time, only this metadata record describing the data is publicly accessible. The full set of photos and haulout size estimates will be added to this USGS public data release during the winter of 2023/2024, after walruses have left the area. ...
