At a basic level CyberTracker is simply a tool to gather data in a very efficient way.  However, CyberTracker is more than just a tool. CyberTracker represents a new way of looking at nature - a new methodology that will make it possible to monitor the environment on a worldwide basis at a level of detail that was not possible before.  The application of CyberTracker raises new methodological issues.
