In Search of Sea Ghosts and Unicorns

In this presentation, Greg takes us on a journey from the myths of unicorns found in Ancient Greek texts to WEB's present day research.

He covers how we are using tools like machine learning to identify behaviors of individuals while examining social structure.

Could social learning be a key to adaptation and resilience in a changing Arctic for beluga whales and narwhals?

IT TAKES A VILLAGE

We published a paper in Scientific Reports that covers a study of beluga whale group structure and kinship.

It spanned 20 years, four countries ... and more than a few cold nights in a tent!

WHERE DO DOLPHINS GO AT NIGHT?

This study published in Animal Biotelemetry on nocturnal behavior reveals how individual dolphins in the Indian River Lagoon system in Florida have very unique movement patterns and habitat preferences at night- regularly traveling out to the ocean and also up rivers and freshwater canals.

LIFE ON THE EDGE

Working with our team at HBOI, FAU Funder just launched our first crowd funding campaign,

'Life on the Edge'

We're hoping you can help us raise funds to get back to the Arctic to conduct crucial studies on beluga whale vulnerability and resilience in this time of rapid change.

Thanks for your support!
