Columbia University — Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory — Live Campus Cameras
1 campus camera at Palisades, New York — each named for the university by its own record. Free, no signup.
Columbia's camera sits not on the Morningside Heights campus but on the university's other great campus: the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York. The record describes itself at length — a south-facing view over the Palisades Interstate Park's oak-maple forest, from the observatory campus above the Hudson.
It is an earth-science campus watching an earth-science subject: the forest of the Palisades, photographed as PhenoCam research. The catalogue's city field says Bronx; the record's own description and coordinates say Palisades, and the page follows the description.
