Cetacean Enthusiast! Interests include acoustic behavioral ecology, unmanned aerial systems (drones), and marine protected area design and implementation!!
Just published #Thermalimaging from aerial #drones can help researchers learn more about the health and #physiology of critically #endangered North Atlantic #rightwhales, including how they lose heat from their heads. https://t.co/YGGdtc4Ups
New project: SCARS FROM ABOVE
Starting this summer, we will explore the use of aerial imagery (photogrammetry) to assess humpback whale entanglement and its energetic consequences.

Sometimes satellite remote sensing of the ocean doesn't quite fit the bill - in coastal waters, in cloudy regions, or when studying dynamic submesocale features. Drones help address these blind spots. New paper with @clifgray & @Grogology in @ESAFrontiers https://t.co/6qCSgzFMbp
Interested in ocean optics? Curt Mobley just put out a magnum opus on the subject with 924 pages and 451 figures, published by the @IOCCG: "The Oceanic Optics Book"
It is available for free download at https://t.co/InmvwVxlGo. Should be an amazing reference.
Attention droners in the Southeast US and Carib! The Drones in the Coastal Zone workshop report is out. Over 250 academic, government & private industry participants learned about drone technology, government policy, mission planning, data management etc. https://t.co/H2HwjYYyoo
Want to know more about the uncertainties associated with drone-based estimates of baleen whale body condition? Check out @KCBierlich's fab new paper in @FrontMarineSci: https://t.co/Rdl63sqswF
Today was Patty Nolin's last day after a career that has spanned the better part of four decades at #DUML. We will miss seeing her on the island! Join us in thanking Patty for her wonderful service and wishing her well in the future.
Always a relief to find our #acoustic recorders intact even after several years of deployment. Now to search the data for #dynamite#fishing#explosions and #whale song. Long term monitoring is telling a lot about trends off northern #tanzania@SeaSensors @jam_machund
Read our latest news article about the work of ATREE in India that shows the huge impact of increased shipping traffic on the Ganges on Ganges River dolphins https://t.co/S1HDnuTQzp
Excited that MaRRS lab director @dioptrica is giving a presentation at the British Antarctic Survey today about how drones benefit our conservation science. #WeAreDukeEnvironment
