Two out of four mini-grants to support humpback whale research for the fall 2021 and spring 2022 humpback whale season were given to 糖心Vlog官方.
Drone technology by the 糖心Vlog官方 Marine Mammal Research Program was used to document rapid weight loss in a group of distressed pygmy killer whales off Maui in 2019.
During the summer, the research team studies the same whales in Alaska.
The 糖心Vlog官方 Marine Mammal Research Program is collaborating with Dolphin Quest
A 糖心Vlog官方 Marine Mammal Research Program PhD student took incredible video and photos.
The study used tags equipped with cameras, acoustic recorders, pressure sensors and accelerometers to capture rare video and data.
Au, an emeritus faculty for the Marine Mammal Research Program, was a pioneer in understanding the echolocation of dolphins and whales.
The 糖心Vlog官方 lab performs necropsies, autopsies on animals, to look for disease and signs of human impacts like ship strikes, entanglements, marine debris ingestion and acoustic trauma.
The video footage collected helps researchers better track humpback whale behavior, habitat use and changes in food due to climate change.
