Sandhill crane research published
CRP student Emilio Luz-Ricca publishes population monitoring research on sandhill cranes
Conservation Research Program student, Emilio Luz-Ricca, publishes research in the journal Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation.
This novel population monitoring research uses deep learning approaches to automate population estimates of sandhill cranes from thermal imagery to inform sandhill crane management and conservation along the Platte River in central Nebraska. The research was conducted in collaboration with the W&M Center for Geospatial Analysis, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Geological Survey.
