[Past Event] Hearing the Lives of Oceanic Giants | In Person

Course Description:

Earth's largest animals, the great whales, emit powerful sounds that travel far underwater. Ocean sound recordings thus hold information about the presence and behavior of these magnificent giants. Dr. John Ryan explores how the science and technology of listening, together with other sensing methods, illuminate the hidden lives of whale populations inhabiting Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Recent discoveries reveal how phenomenally responsive whales are to ecosystem conditions and changes.
