We are excited to announce our newest Weddell Seal Science video about one amazing rare old Weddell seal mom and her many offspring throughout her 31 year life in the Erebus Bay, Antarctica study area!
This video was created by project lead scientist Dr. Jay Rotella and Multimedia Specialist Jeremy Schmidt, with a little production assistance by Multimedia Specialist Mary Lynn Price. The video uses Weddell seal imaging from numerous Weddell seal research team members over the years. Data used to create an animated map through time were collected by our field research teams over nearly four decades of field work. The Weddell seal population ecology project has been ongoing for over 50 years, and is unique in the scientific community. Such a longterm project makes possible a rare understanding of where, when, and how often these seals reproduce. These data can then be correlated to environmental conditions and many other variables affecting Weddell seals in the Erebus Bay area of Antarctica. We hope you enjoy the new video!
