Polar Bear Cam - Researchers use Crowdsourcing
http://explore.org/#!/live-cams/player/polar-bear-tundra-buggy-cam
Researchers studying the effects of climate change on polar bears are experimenting with the idea of crowdsourcing data as improving technology allows anybody with an internet connection to monitor the animals' annual migration in Canada.
Polar bears gather at this time of year on the Hudson Bay's southwestern shore to wait for the water to freeze so they can wander the ice and hunt for seals.
The migration to the Wapusk National Park in Manitoba is far enough south to make the Western Hudson Bay polar bears one of the most accessible and studied populations of the species. This is the third season that reserachers are running live webcam feeds of the annual migration. The webcams were set up to improve the education of people who know little about Polar Bears.
They allow anybody online to watch and photograph male bears sparring and mothers walking with their young across the tundra.
Researchers will look to add the best of those photos to their collection, and compare them with photo archives going back decades to better understand changes to the bear's conditions.
Here is the link to the webcam
