dal.ca/news/2024/10/08/new-s… Big congrats to the inaugural recipients of the Michael Albert Garron Fund--especially our own @rhylfrith 🎉
Finished one of the best field seasons to date studying North Atlantic right whale foraging behaviour in the Gulf of St. Lawrence with @UNB and @OceanAlliance #whales #tagging #drones instagram.com/reel/C9myySbRf…

Wishing the @UNBResearch + @DalhousieU + Ocean Alliance field team a safe, productive, #whale-filled #research trip aboard the FV JD Martin! They’ll be in the Gulf of St. Lawrence the next two weeks studying #rightwhales & their prey 🐋🌊🦐
Great piece from @HakaiInstitute and @OceanSchoolNow about how eDNA can help us understand shifts in bowhead whale habitat use. Thanks to DOT and @JulieLaroche for letting us trial their eDNA sampler and to our colleagues in Pang and beyond

During winter and spring, bowhead whales migrate to Disko Bay in West Greenland to feed. Using drone photogrammetry, we quantified how much energy, and prey, the whales need in order to grow fat @mads_heide @OutiTervo Jonas Teilmann. link.springer.com/article/10…

We are thrilled to present a new virtual training opportunity “Introduction to Engagement and Knowledge Mobilization in Northern Research: A Four Part Series” in partnership with @WestonFamilyFdn. Stay tuned for speaker announcements, talk descriptions and registration details!
We new it could happen but hoped it wouldn’t.
On July 15, a critically endangered #NorthAtlanticRightWhale was seen entangled by a multi-organizational research team led by Dalhousie University. Aquarium scientists were able to confirm the identity of the whale as Catalog #4042.
