Satellite tracking of animal migration on the internet

Scientists can follow mammal and bird migrations by placing a small tracker on the animals, which regularly via satellite sends information on the position of the animalsto the scientists’ computers.

In Greenland, Aarhus University, in collaboration with the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, has tracked a number of birds and mammals. Read about some of the projects in Greenland here:
