How to study dolphin & whale behavior ft. Dr. Adam Pack

"Seek out opportunities to explore our ocean as much as you can." Carissa interviews her friend and colleague Dr. Adam Pack, a researcher who has been studying dolphins and whales in Hawaiian waters for the last twenty years. We worked on the same team during the September 2022 National Geographic expedition studying cetacean vocalizations in Hawaiian waters. What I love about Adam is how much I can learn from his generation of ocean discovery, and his dedication to science communication. While this episode is more focused on cetacean science, it truly conveys where the field of marine mammal acoustics is at this time. Come along with us while we interview Adam about his expedition research objectives, his career, all things dolphins and whales, and nuggets of wisdom he has to share for aspiring marine mammal biologists.
