Drones: Taking Cetacean Research to New Heights - Livestream

Please join us as we hear from marine biologist, Dr. Gina Lonati of The Marine Mammal Center’s Cetacean Conservation Biology department. Gina will discuss the myriad ways drones are being used to study cetacean behavior, ecology, health, and physiology. Including results from her PhD research on North Atlantic right whales, she will review new insights ??" such as how researchers can measure the body volume or internal temperatures of free-swimming whales with drones. Additionally, Gina will describe her current role leading drone operations with The Marine Mammal Center in San Francisco Bay and how this technology is contributing to the local conservation of gray whales - notably of heightened concern to all of us.
