Biologging
A small recording instrument,/which is called a data logger,/is attached to animals. Carrying the logger,/the animals collect data/in the natural environment. Biologging has developed/since the 1980s. Japan now leads the world/in this new technology.
The data logger has realized the dream of studying the behavior of aquatic animals,/such as penguins or seals. Before,/we couldn’t track them/once they dived into the sea.
In 2017,/five sea turtles with data loggers/were released into the Arafura Sea. When they dived for food,/the data loggers recorded the sea temperatures. When they came up to breathe,/the data was sent to the research center/through a satellite.
The turtles dived repeatedly/to a depth of over 100 meters/for about three months. It was this project/that revealed both sea turtle behavior and accurate sea temperatures.
Oceans cover almost 70% of the earth’s surface. So,/it is extremely important/to record water temperatures precisely. This will help prevent/weather disasters and global warming.
What science has revealed/is amazing/and many facts are still to be discovered. The smaller the data loggers become,/the more they will be used/with a wider range of animals. Biologging will evolve. This will allow us/to obtain more valuable data/about animals and the natural environment.
