I’m interested in what ways you do or will use Gigapans to document restoration work, or to describe the work to others. The snapshot tool (especially with embedded links to more content) seem useful for this. Do you know the stream orders for these reaches? Are there any invertebrate or phenology data for these sites? Does any recreational angling occur on these streams? I’m interested in using gigapans for research and education on possible climate change impacts to phenology, invertebrate populations, and health of cold water fisheries. We will have anglers collect observations on insect emergence dates. I think gigapans can be used to discuss instream habitat preferences of different species, introduce phenology concepts (especially by taking multiple images of the same site throughout the year). Have you seen the new gigapan.org group “Gigapans for science and monitoring”? Great work! - Jerry jschoen@tei.umass.edu
