An extensive survey of three genera of frogs in Montana show that they were unaffected by the K – Pg extinction event and survived apparently unchanged.

Because a geographically dispersed population can be expensive to survey, greater economy than simple random sampling can be achieved by treating several respondents within a local area as a cluster.

These data are then matched to census records and the number of people missed can be estimated by considering the number missed in the census or survey but counted in the other.

Another possibility is to present survey results by means of statistical models in the form of a multivariate distribution mixture.

Between 1896 and 1900, lacking an observatory, he volunteered to measure photographic plates taken by David Gill, who was conducting a photographic survey of southern hemisphere stars at the Royal Observatory at the Cape of Good Hope.

Many famous astronomical surveys were taken using photographic plates, including the first Palomar Observatory Sky Survey ( POSS ) of the 1950s, the follow-up POSS-II survey of the 1990s, and the UK Schmidt survey of southern declinations.

A survey of the nebula with the Chandra X-ray Observatory in 2001 has revealed the presence of very hot, young stars at the core of the Rosette Nebula.

This led him to propose, and secure funding for, the construction of the Interplanetary Scintillation Array, a large array radio telescope at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory ( MRAO ), Cambridge in order to conduct a high time-resolution radio survey of interplanetary scintillation.

A paper published in January 2012 discussed the European New Gravitational wave Observatory ( NGO ) mission ( derived from the previous LISA proposal ) and referred to this derivative proposal by an informal name “ eLISA ”, and proposed that it will survey in the low-frequency gravitational wave band ( about 0. 1 mHz to 1 Hz ) with sufficient sensitivity to detect interesting individual astrophysical sources out to cosmological distances represented by a redshift z = 15.

In 1833, for his survey of Narragansett Bay, he was placed in charge of the Navy's Department of Charts and Instruments, out of which developed the Naval Observatory and Hydrographic Office.

The plate was exposed on January 15 during a stellar proper motion survey for the Lick Observatory.

In 1974, Hulse and Taylor discovered the first pulsar in a binary system, named PSR B1913 + 16 after its position in the sky, during a survey for pulsars at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.

There he worked with Taylor on a large-scale survey for pulsars using the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.

The discovery formed part of a survey begun in 2001 with the Samuel Oschin telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego, California using Yale's 160 megapixel Palomar Quest camera.
