WhalesandClimate

Whales and Climate is an international research program dedicated to the research of humpback whales and climate change impacts

Our research on climate change is a bit on hold because the supercomputer in Canberra can not run because the cooling is down with Canberra under smoke.

More and more whales never return to Antarctica and remain in the Southern Ocean. https://t.co/4xO0NiLOl6

Humpback whale sightings in South Australia in December. While there has been reports of some individuals spending the summer in this region instead of going to Antarctica it is still a very unusual behaviour. https://t.co/GDH6b5pSuZ

Little is known about the sea ice edge and foraging of baleen whales. https://t.co/dcgZwcdjH2

Impacts of whaling and climate change on penguins. Far reaching ecosystem changes that whaling had on the Antarctic are extremely complex and understanding impacts of climate change on whales today need to... https://t.co/J4D18yhh8I

Elisa Seyboth (right) is one of the postdocs @CPUT hired in our interdisciplinary project @ClimateWhales to study how the changing southern hemisphere is affecting humpback whale distributions.

[SCALE @SCALExperiment]

#SCALEbyNumbers @SOCCOgliders and @PolarGliders deployed 3 @KOGMaritime Seagliders with the help of @SeaTechServ to monitor the seasonal melting of sea ice and development of the spring phytoplankton blooms. So far they have done 635 dives since their deployment.

[SCALE @SCALExperiment]

#SCALEbyNumbers From the multiple CTDs and underway stations the samples for water chemistry begin to add up, with ~500 salinity samples, 550 DIC samples and over 2000 macronutrient samples
