[SEMCO] upcoming whale presentation at Bridgewater State College

[Carol Carson]

Please join us for an exciting presentation on whales and acoustics at 
Bridgewater State College.

Listening to Whales.
A presentation by Ingrid Biedron (Bioacoustics Research Program, 
Cornell University)

Wednesday, March 28, 2007
4:00 – 5:00 PM
Moakley Auditorium (in the Moakley Center)
On the Bridgewater State College campus.
This event is free and open to the public.
Complimentary refreshments will be provided at 3:45 PM.

Ingrid Biedron, a doctoral candidate at Cornell University, will 
present an overview of her work studying the acoustics (or sounds) of 
endangered baleen whales that live and feed in the Gulf of Maine.  
Learn how new technologies, like pop-up recorders and recording buoys 
with cell-phone transmitters, are allowing scientists to listen in on 
whale conversations hundreds of miles offshore.  Large endangered 
species such as the humpback whale, finback whale and North Atlantic 
right whale, face many environmental threats including ship strikes, 
entanglement in fishing gear, whale-watching and habitat degradation.  
Ingrid will also describe her current research projects and other work 
being accomplished by the Bioacoustics Research Program at Cornell 
University.

This presentation is sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Arts and 
Sciences, BSC's Biology Club and the New England Coastal Wildlife 
Alliance (NECWA).

Ingrid Biedron is currently a third year graduate student in the 
Bioacoustics Research Program at Cornell University, studying the 
acoustic behavior of North Atlantic Right Whales.
