A few days ago I logged in and provided some online ideas and comments on the Mindmixer dialogue for this conference. You can also sign up and add your own.

I added this new idea to The Next Steppe: Sage-grouse &... Conference Online Collaborative Dialogue opportunity.
On "The Next Steppe: livestream this morning I heard comments about using GPS collars on Sage grouse to track their movement patterns. Below I will share an interesting way to animate GPS data on a Google Earth map that I helped create.
Lava Lake Institute for Science and Conservation, the Wildlife Conservation Society, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the Pioneers Alliance and others were involved in the study. In 2011 near Craters of the Moon in Central Idaho, pronghorn antelope were collared with GPS units and tracked to determine migration routes. Six different migration paths emerged from this study.
1. Mountain Visions produced this Google Earth animation which shows the Little Wood River antelope population of 3 study animals migrating from their winter range on the sagebrush steppe of the Snake River Plain to their summer range in the Pioneer Mountains and back to their winter range. A timeline window in the upper left corner is synced with the animation to show the movement over a 10 and 1/2 month period.

2. Mountain Visions produced this Google Earth animation showing the movement of the GPS collars recovered from 12 study animals that revealed 6 distinct pronghorn population migrations. A timeline window in the upper left corner is synced with the animation to show the movement over a 10 and 1/2 month period.
