Dr. Orion McCarthy Part 1: Unveiling Photogrammetry’s Role in Coral Conservation

Dr. Orion McCarthy joins us to explore photogrammetry, a revolutionary technique creating 3D models to monitor and protect coral reefs, unveiling its role in modern conservation. From his early passion sparked by Australia’s vibrant oceans to its power in tracking reef health, we dive into how this tech is reshaping how we observe coral health over time. Today we look at Orions journey in long term monitoring, post-storm stories, and more.
