Ms. Ingrid Biedron
Bioacoustics Research Program
Cornell University

Whales in the Gulf of Maine: Biology, Conservation and Research.
Join us for an exciting presentation by Ingrid Biedron, a doctoral 
candidate from Cornell University.  Ingrid will present her work on the 
acoustics of endangered baleen whales that live and feed in the waters 
off New England.  Learn about new technologies being used to record 
whale sounds, including pop-up recorders and recording buoys with 
cell-phone transmitters.  These advances are allowing scientists to 
listen in on whale conversations hundreds of miles offshore.  Large 
endangered whales such as the humpback, finback and North Atlantic 
right whale, face many environmental threats including ship strikes, 
entanglement in fishing gear, whale-watching and habitat degradation.  
Ingrid will describe her current research projects and other hi-tech 
projects conducted by the Bioacoustics Research Program at Cornell 
University.

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