Coronado Community READ: Whale Whispers: Listening to the Conversations of Marine Giants with Dr. Vanessa ZoBell

Whales are abundant off of the California coast, although sometimes they can be difficult to see from the beach. Scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography attempt to understand the communication of marine mammals (like Tova from Remarkably Bright Creature), solely by listening. Come learn about whale communication and hear their beautiful songs with Dr. Vanessa ZoBell from the Scripps Whale Acoustics lab. 

About the Speaker: 

Dr. Vanessa ZoBell is a postdoctoral researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. Her PhD work focused on reducing threats to large whales in the Southern California region. She is broadly interested in research focused around human-wildlife interactions, conservation, sustainability, and finding solutions for the modern ocean.
