Awesome shot of killer whale catching a dolphin from Domenic Biagini @gonewhalewatching
With the ongoing climate crisis, studies into foraging behavior and energetic demands of species is key to understanding how they’ll succeed and survive in rapidly changing environments. In particular in polar regions - the front line of climate change. Go Dr. Emily S Choy !
The proximity of whale watching boats to whales has previously been shown to impact behavior. In this really important study, Kate Sprogis et al clearly show that sound level does too. The ocean is far from silent. Our noise needs to be reduced wherever possible. Great work team!
Shhhh, the #whales are resting! New guidelines to shield whales from human-made #noise are needed to ensure them some peace and quiet according to a Danish-Australian research team #NatSciAU #NaturalSciences Kate Sprogis Bioacoustics AU Aarhus Universitet
Huge congratulations to Dr Laia Rojano-Doñate on a brilliant PhD defense and discussion looking at how noise impacts #harbourporpoise energetics and physiology. 👏🏼
Another great PhD defense from Bioacoustics AU team! Congrats Pernille! Really interesting talk on echolocation in deep divers. Super data set and discoveries. Well done 👏🏼🎉
A huge barrier to entry into marine science is the need for field experience. But opportunities are rarely funded. Students often pay for travel, accomm+expenses, limiting access AND diversity. Orgs like Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS) are vital for breaking these barriers + deserve full support!👏🏼
Joining global leaders, researchers & early career #ocean professionals at the #GalwayStatement anniversary! #AtlanticOcean #AtlanticAll #Innovation #OceanKnowledge "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn" Gruber Sigi on important role of ECOPs
🔵 What is Ocean Bridges? 🎤 We asked one of its creators Gruber Sigi #AtlanticAll
A great afternoon spent with fellow Early Career Ocean Professionals, brainstorming and sharing ideas for a concrete solution to present to the All-Atlantic Ocean Research & Innovation Alliance members to ensure the protection and restoration of biodiversity, as part of the #GalwayStatement 10th anniversary. #AtlanticAll
