Course Details
• Advanced Marine Mammal Behavior: Exploring the complex behaviors and social structures of marine mammals, such as dolphins, whales, and seals. This unit covers topics like communication, cognition, and conservation.
• Marine Mammal Acoustics: An in-depth examination of the sounds produced by marine mammals, their functions, and how they are used in communication, navigation, and feeding. This unit also covers the impact of human-made noise on marine mammals and the methods used to study their acoustic behavior.
• Sensory Systems in Marine Mammals: A study of the sensory systems that marine mammals use to navigate, communicate, and interact with their environment. This unit covers the visual, auditory, tactile, and chemical senses, and how they are adapted to the marine environment.
• Marine Mammal Conservation and Management: An exploration of the conservation and management strategies used to protect marine mammals and their habitats. This unit covers the legal frameworks, population monitoring, and the role of public education and outreach.
• Marine Mammal Research Methods: An overview of the research methods used to study marine mammals, including observational studies, tagging and tracking, and laboratory experiments. This unit also covers data analysis and interpretation, and ethical considerations in marine mammal research.
• Marine Mammal Communication and Cognition: A deeper look into the communication and cognitive abilities of marine mammals. This unit covers the complexity of marine mammal vocalizations, their cognitive abilities, and the implications for their conservation and management.
• Marine Mammal Anatomy and Physiology: An examination of the anatomy and physiology of marine mammals, including their respiratory, circulatory, and musculoskeletal systems. This unit also covers the adaptations that allow marine mammals to thrive in their aquatic habitats.
• Marine Mammal Population Dynamics: A study of the population dynamics of marine mammals, including their life history strategies, population structure, and the factors that influence their populations, such as food availability, climate change, and human activities.
