'Reducing our dependence on whales as an energy source will send us sliding down the slippery, spermaceti-lubricated slope to socialism.'
"Reducing our dependence on whales as an energy source will send us sliding down the slippery, spermaceti-lubricated slope to socialism. If we give up whaling, what will those lackwits come for next? Will I have to surrender my peg leg for a titanium prosthetic?"
I’m Captain Ahab and I Say We Must Never Transition Away from a Whale-Based Energy Industry
When I heard that the globalist oligarchs and fat cats in the Washington marshland were conspiring to invest in alternative, non-whale-based energy...

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.

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?'

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.

At the ECS conference, they tried something new: #AIgenerated real-time closed capturing. I completely understand the intention to not only make the conference more accessible, but that many non-native English speakers like to watch TV with English subtitles. It helps them understand.

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!
