  3. Biodiversity Science project: Sloane's Champions: helping a Thurgoona local

    Sloane’s froglet (Crinia sloanei) is a small (up to 25 mm in length) threatened olive-brown coloured frog. In NSW, Sloane's froglet is now only found in a few locations along the Murray River. One of the largest populations is located in the Thurgoona-Wirlinga area of Albury...

  4. Site Page: ALA Educational Resources for primary school classes – Atlas of Living Australia

    Posted on 13th March 2015 It can be beneficial (and more importantly, fun!) to move the science classes out of the classroom and into the outdoors, and primary school teacher Wendy Johnson from Gippsland Grammar in Victoria has done just that, by utilising the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) and its educational resources with her students...

  5. Biodiversity Science project: Dark Skies ISS

    Right now there are around 1.800.000 images at the Johnson Space Center database (The Gateway of the Astronauts). Around 1.200.000 images were taken aboard the ISS (date 20/02/2014). However the number of the classified images is much smaller and there is no archive of georeferenced images. There is a project to classify the day time images (Image detective). But, the techniques that are used in this project are not useful for the classification of night time images...

  6. Biodiversity Science project: Visualizing Health

    When it comes to our bodies, data abounds. We all have a blood pressure, weight, cholesterol levels, A1c, BMI, and more. We have risks, too. We might have or be at risk for cancer, or heart disease, or have a higher risk of experiencing a side effect of a medication or treatment than someone else. In theory, this data can help us make better decisions about our health. Should I take this pill? Will it help me more than it hurts me? How can I reduce my risk? And so on...

  10. Biodiversity Science project: Queen Quest

    Queen Quest is a bumble bee queen phenology project. It is a joint effort between UNL’s Bumble Boosters team, University of Minnesota’s Bee Squad, and citizen scientists to track first instances of bumble bee queen sightings in the spring. Little is known about the long-term and cyclical effects of climate on bumble bee populations. A key project objective is to determine the relationship and long-term impacts of climate on bumble bees...
