Biologging and Earth Observation

Wildlife monitoring in changing oceanic ecosystems

Our Mission

Geospatial science
in service of the ocean

GIS for Wildlife develops software that integrates satellite biologging data with real-time Earth Observation layers — sea surface temperature, chlorophyll concentration — to reveal how marine species navigate a dynamic and increasingly threatened ocean environment.

Biologging
Satellite tags relay real-time GPS positions via satellite for any tagged marine individual, anywhere on Earth.
Earth Observation Layers
Copernicus Marine Service data streams SST and Chlorophyll overlaying directly on tracking trajectories.
Movebank Database
Integrated with Movebank, the world's largest repository of animal tracking data for migratory species studies.

Wildlife Tracker GEO

Geospatial platform for wildlife monitoring

Designed for research, conservation, and MPA management.

Wildlife Tracker GEO is our dedicated geospatial platform for wildlife monitoring and Marine Protected Area management. It overlays biologging trajectories with real time eco geographical data sourced from the Copernicus Marine Service, such as SST and Phytoplankton, to reveal how marine species navigate in a dynamic and changing ocean.

Galápagos Use Case

Tracking the giants of the Galápagos

In collaboration with the Galápagos Whale Shark Project, Wildlife Tracker GEO was deployed to analyse the movement of satellite-tagged whale sharks across the Eastern Tropical Pacific, combining biologging data with ocean environmental layers.

Satellite tag data merged with SST and Chlorophyll layers reveals how these giants respond to seasonal ocean shifts.

Biologging

Wildlife migration in a changing ocean

Species like sea turtles and whale sharks navigate across ocean basins using environmental cues such as temperature gradients, productivity hotspots, and current systems. Our geospatial platform makes those invisible connections visible to scientists and conservationists.

Global Reach

Adaptable to any species, any ocean

From Antarctic penguins to tropical elasmobranchs, Wildlife Tracker GEO integrates with Movebank's global database and Copernicus Marine Service to deliver species-agnostic movement analytics for researchers worldwide.
