Christopher Brown of the University of Miami Shark Research and Conservation program captured this photograph of graduate student Jake Jerome safely restraining a bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) while Dr. Natascha Wosnick uses a FLIR T420 thermal imaging camera to analyze the influence of solar irradiation on shark recovery. Dr. Wosnick's current research efforts include evaluating how the exposure to air temperature can influence the post-release thermal dynamics of coastal shark species.
