Eye on the Wild
“Photos are great for telling stories, but they’re also fantastic sources of scientific data,” says National Geographic explorer Jeff Kerby, whose research as a postdoctoral fellow in Dartmouth’s Neukom Institute for Computational Science examines the impact of climate change on the ecology of Arctic tundra. Kerby has also used cameras to document animal behavior in the Ethiopian Highlands and joined the environmental studies foreign studies program in southern Africa to assist undergraduates with drone photography.
