Current Research
Our research program currently includes an effort to learn more about group life in long-finned pilot whales using aerial videography and photogrammetry. This includes the study of temporal (e.g., synchrony) and spatial (e.g., formations) relationships between group members, as well as collective decision-making.
We are also embarking on new research which will help us understand more about the health of this population, particularly as related to the changing environments in which these long-finned pilot whales live.
While our highlighted research focuses may change over time, we maintain our long-term monitoring program - where we conduct research off whale-watching platforms in partnership with a local tour operator to collect photographic, behavioural, acoustic, and environmental data.
