Spatial and temporal analyses of marine mammal vocalizations using unmanned systems (2019-2022)

Marine mammals spend a considerable time under water often vocalizing, and the use of acoustic equipment and suitable methods to interpret the recordings are increasingly important. This postdoc project exploits spatio-temporal behaviour and ecological relationships of whale acoustic occurrence collected by autonomous vehicles under the GLIDER project (Akvaplan-niva) and LoVeOcean Observatory (IMR) in the Nordland region of Northern Norway.
