Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Calling Behavior In Southeast Alaska : A Study In Acoustic Ecology And Noise

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H.
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a widely distributed baleen whale species, well known for their diverse acoustic behavior. On high-latitude foraging grounds, humpback whales produce a suite of non-song vocalizations (“calls”) in concert with foraging and social behavior. In this dissertation I investigated the role of calls in the acoustic...

Social calling behavior of Southeast Alaskan humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) : classification and context

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle Elizabeth Hardy
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are vocal baleen whales that exhibit complex social interactions that vary spatially and seasonally. Across their range, humpback whales produce a wide array of vocalizations including ‘song’, foraging vocalizations, and a range of vocalizations known as social calls -- unclassified non-song vocalizations. This study investigates the...

Automatic Classification of Ultrasonic Harbor Porpoise Clicks in a Varying Noise Environment

Creator:: De Leon, Daniel
Abstract:: This study compares three approaches in the design of an autonomous machine listening agent that predicts harbor porpoise ultrasonic echolocation clicks in diverse noise environments. Considering the temporal variations of noisy coastal ocean soundscapes which the harbor porpoises inhabit, we propose a leave-one-day-out (LODO) cross-validation strategy in the training of...

Variation in fin whale songs recorded near Hawaii

Creator:: McCourt, Laura
Abstract:: Marine mammals use acoustics for many life functions, including communication. Male fin whales produce a call around 20 Hz and the pattern of a series of calls can vary based on the individual, geographic region, and season. I examined the variation between songs in fin whales. A glider was deployed...

Applications of slow-moving autonomous platforms for passive acoustic monitoring and density estimation of marine mammals

Creator:: Fregosi, Selene
Abstract:: Advances in mobile autonomous vehicles for oceanographic sensing provide new opportunities for passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammals. Acoustically equipped mobile autonomous platforms, including gliders, deep-water profiling floats, and drifting surface buoys can survey for a variety of marine mammal species over intermediate spatiotemporal scales. Additionally, such mobile platforms may...

Creator:: Tuma, Teresa K. Easterling
Abstract:: This collection consists of autobiographical essays which center around my father, my first husband, and my backyard. All of the pieces are recollections, and most occur either from my study inside the house, or from the deck outside, looking at the yard. The Preface is the story of how I...

The comparative metabolism of cadmium, mercury and zinc as environmental contaminants in the freshwater mussel, Margaritifera margaritifera

Creator:: Mellinger, P. J.
Abstract:: The uptake, tissue distribution and retention patterns of cadmium, mercury and zinc were examined in the freshwater mussel, Margaritifera margaritifera. All three of these heavy metals are found in the environment. Both cadmium and mercury are toxic at low environmental concentrations. Zinc may also be toxic at low concentrations but...

Creator:: Klinck, Holger and Mellinger, David K.
Abstract:: The energy ratio mapping algorithm (ERMA) was developed to improve the performance of energy-based detection of odontocete echolocation clicks, especially for application in environments with limited computational power and energy such as acoustic gliders. ERMA systematically evaluates many frequency bands for energy ratio-based detection of echolocation clicks produced by a...
