abstract = "Seals and whales spend much of their lives underwater
and thus their travel and behaviour are difficult to
study. Satellite relay data loggers {(SRDLs)} have been
developed to relay track and dive behaviour data from
marine mammals. The large and complex datasets
resulting from the deployment of these devices need to
be interpreted in relation to the animals' oceanic
environment. A marine {MAMmal} {VISualization} system
{(MAMVIS)}, based on {AVS}, has been developed to allow
the interactive visualization and exploration of
three-dimensional animal behaviour and travel in a
three-dimensional environment. Altering the position
and direction of the camera and angle of its lens, as
well as animation, allows the comprehensive exploration
such of complex datasets. An example of the utility of
{MAMVIS} is demonstrated by a case study into the
foraging ecology of elephant seals in the south
Atlantic.",
