About the Presentation:

Michaela Alksne will be speaking on “Whale Music: Long-term biogeographic patterns of Blue and Fin whale moans in the Southern California Bight”.

About the Speaker:

Michaela Alksne (she/her/hers) is a PhD Candidate in Biological Oceanography at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. She earned her B.S in Marine Biology from the University of California, San Diego in 2020. As part of the Scripps Marine Bioacoustics Research Collaborative (MBARC), she is interested in using long-term passive acoustic monitoring to investigate the biogeography of cetaceans in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. Her current research leverages novel machine learning tools to study long-term spatial-temporal trends of large baleen whales in Southern California. If she’s not writing and wrangling Python scripts in her office, Michaela is often found surfing nearby.
