Just out in @ArcticScienceJ, our latest paper on exposure of bowhead whales to vessel traffic in the Pacific #Arctic. Led by @_mjmartin with many lovely co-authors. @WCS_Canada @UVicSEOS doi.org/10.1139/AS-2022-0052

📰NEW PUBLICATION!🐋
In our new paper in @JAppliedEcology, we show how 'not all maps are equal' when it comes to mapping risk..We apply the same data (bowhead whale and Arctic vessel traffic) to 8 different models, and find nuances in where is predicted as 'high risk' 🗺

Study Looks at How #ShipNoise Affects Arctic #MarineMammals | By @NoorMubarik for @CBCNews
Underwater #Arctic noise, says researcher William Halliday, can lead animals "to stop foraging or to leave an area, to maybe even change their migration route."

For profs/researchers worried about their students using AI for writing, the fact that it used to be bad at citations was a relatively straightforward way to catch people using it. Apparently that is less of an issue now...

With no more ships headed for the #NorthwestPassage, I think it's safety say the transit season has ended for 2023 and it's time to summarize this year's voyages based on my previous tweets.

#AISspotted what could be the season's first #NorthwestPassage transit. @RoyalWagenborg's ice-strengthened freighters have used the route multiple times in 2016–2017 and 2019–2022; Alaskaborg did a single eastbound transit last year.
