Ever wonder how fat #HumpbackWhales get?? 🐋
Check out our new paper in @FrontMarineSci where we describe how body condition increases over the foraging season in #Antarctic. This work establishes a baseline to monitor future impacts of climate change.

Humpback whales really pack it on during Antarctic summers!
Cool new paper led by @KCBierlich shows how drone-based photogrammetry helps us better understand how humpbacks increase energy reserves while foraging along the Western Antarctic Peninsula.

fat, faT, fAT, FAT! That’s how humpback whales grow when reaching the Antarctic feeding grounds 🇦🇶 🦐 Great way to know more is at the Marine Mammal conference #SMM2022 @marinemammalogy; @KCBierlich et al. #humpbackwhale

Thrilled that our study of rorqual whale distribution & phenology off Oregon is out in the world! This paper enhances ecological knowledge and paves the way for informed management decisions. Congratulations @SoleneDerville and @GemmLabOSU, this project is a joy to be part of!

I'm proud to finally share my first first-author publication (!), a summary analysis of fine-scale seal and sea lion distributions on land, w/ drone data from a collaboration of @MarineUAS, the Aleut Community of Saint Paul, and NOAA's Marine Mammal Lab. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/1…

So excited about this awesome collaborative study that used the methods established during my dissertation to account for uncertainty associated w/ different #drones to measure body condition of #graywhales on their feeding & breeding grounds

Introducing the Marine Mammal Bioacoustics and Ecology Lab, led by the great Dr. Kate Stafford @HatfieldMSC. Yes, that's right folks. It's the MMBEL lab.🤣 A website ... and maybe even a Twitter account to follow! Logo designed by the renowned illustrator, Uko Gorter.🙏❤️

Our fearless leader, Dr Johnston, has been chosen as @DukeEnvironment's new Associate Dean for Teaching Innovation & new program chair for @DEL_Duke.
What an honor! We know he will make an incredible impact on the School & all who work & study here.
Congratulations, @dioptrica!

It's hard to determine if whales and dolphins are pregnant in the wild, but drones can help! This cool new paper from @MarineUAS and @CromartyLH shows how to get the job done: zslpublications.onlinelibrar…
