The Whales and Climate research comprises of an international team of researchers from six countries creating a better understanding for whale distributions under future climate-change scenarios and investigating changes influencing population status and conservation of Southern Hemisphere humpback whale populations and other whales’ species.
Using whale species as a sentinel for other species, the team of interdisciplinary researchers is developing methods and tools applicable to the assessment of varies marine mammals impacted by climate change. The program also leads to improved understanding of the role whales play as climate engineers as carbon storage as well as their role as ecosystem engineers contributing to ocean productivity.
