A PhD student wandered into my office, and complemented an ocean depths poster I have on the wall. 'Oh thanks! It's @xkcd.com.' When she didn't know what was, I started to explain and described it as 'popular during the golden age of webcomics.' I made my elder millennial ass feel ancient.

This gem of an #AI marine logo(?) graced my screen. I can't pick a favorite: - Dolphin tunas - The seal with: - a three point tail - connecting dorsal and pectoral fins - ant eater face merging with sky - Sky whale - Smaller sky polar bear - boat? - MARINNE CONIEERATIO⼏|

It's live! Please see my new paper in Ecological Informatics on the #detection and #categorization of frequency notched echolocation from wild recordings. 🐬🔊👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Graphical abstract for the paper 'A simple categorization method for frequency notched echolocation.' Here, we describe how from four passive acoustic monitoring stations in Skagerrak, echolocation clicks from white-beaked dolphins were manually audited. These signals exhibit distinct spectral peaks and notches between 20-80 kHz in 75-90% of visually confirmed species recordings.

A nonlinear least squares model was used to dynamically map the spectral banding pattern.

Our template was significantly correlated with 87% audited white-beaked dolphin events, making this a viable, computationally efficient method.

New paper! Here we report four opportunistic observations of orcas harassing adult male sperm whales near Andenes, Norway. In one instance of recorded audio one sperm whale, using a series of clangs and codas, appears to call to other sperm whales nearby when approached by a group of orcas. See 🖼️⤵️.

This week I'm out in the Danish #BalitcSea on the #SAMBAHII Project, working to monitor the remaining 500 Baltic #harborporpoise. Here, we are deploying a 4-channel array to calculate the #dectectionFunction, or the likelihood of detecting porpoise #echolocation in the study area.

Last week, @mialybkaer.bsky.social, Ellen Jacobs, and I traveled to @vliz.be as part of the @dtobioflow.bsky.social project! We got into the nitty gritty to bring #porpoise pod 🔊 data to the #DataLake via @aquatictracking.bsky.social. Very excited to make this #bigdata 🔢📈 project a reality.

Researchers from the Marine Mammal Research division at Aarhus University and the European Tracking Network group at the Flanders Marine Institute met in Begium at VLIZ to discussion our big data goals. Image is of 9 researchers standing outside in the wind in front of a building.

Often in first drafts I confuse my homophones and realize in the read-through I've used the wrong word. For example, here, I was trying to type pull the line taut, not taught. However, what is with this grammar suggestion? What does 'train to the train' mean? How does it come from 'line taught?'

Small screenshot of Microsoft Word grammar suggestion of 'Pull the line taught' to 'train to the train.'

The prevalence of ultra short baseline acoustic position systems, also known as USBLs 🔊, is understudied in #EuropeanWaters and its effect on marine mammals 🐋, such as the #harbourPorpoise, is mostly unknown. These systems are used in #geophysicalSurveys and during #trawling fishing activities. 🧵1/6

At #ECSconference2025 @crisbri.bsky.social made a compelling #BlueAnthropocene argument: that animals are living in a world heavily and historically influenced by us. #CulturalEcosystems require historical context.

Heading to #ECSconference2025 this weekend in the Azores! Exciting to take part in noise and SAMBAH workshops, and to present this observational report of #orcas harassing #spermwhales in northern latitudes. Paper forthcoming, but for now, stop by and see my poster, I'll tell you all about it!

Being a native English speaker in an international lab means you regularly check the definition of words you absolutely know just to make sure you're using them correctly. Because, if not, my god the embarrassment.

All websites that depend on NOAA data should display something like this. earth.nullschool.net

Weather and climate data shown on this website and countless others are at risk.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the U.S. agency responsible for global weather forecasting, hurricane prediction, ocean observation, and many other services vital to public safety. Its satellites, supercomputers, and research teams provide essential data that help us understand our planet and protect lives.

On February 27, the new U.S. administration initiated mass firings at NOAA. These actions are unethical and deeply disruptive to the talented scientists and engineers who dedicate themselves to the public good. The firings, along with expected budget cuts, have serious implications for the availability and quality of weather forecasts produced by the United States. They must be reversed immediately.

Much of the data on this website is downloaded directly from NOAA's servers. In this environment of uncertainty, access could be disrupted at any time. While I'll strive to keep all features on this website functional and switch to alternative data sources if necessary, some datasets have no substitute if they go offline.

If this concerns you, speak up. Share on social media. And if you're in the U.S., contact your representatives.
