PIONEER (Effects of underwater noise and chemical PollutIOn on heariNg abilitiEs of cEtaceans in the Arctic)
Principal Investigator: Morell Ybarz, Maria
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5876. The aim of this study is to identify and quantify the effects of noise on hearing in cetaceans in the Arctic. Ears of harvested belugas in Hendrickson Island will be used to determine if the individuals suffered a hearing impairment, and if it is compatible with noise exposure. (1) After the head and lower jaws ha...


Responses of marine mammals to vessel noise
Principal Investigator: Cosens, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: In this final year of the study, the researcher will be testing the responses of beluga whales to previously recorded underwater (background) and boat noise. The whales' behaviour to the recorded noises will be measured as a way to determine if belugas alter their behaviour to boat traffic....


Assessment of potential masking of marine mammal sounds by ship noise
Principal Investigator: Cosens, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: In this final year of study, the researcher will be recording whale sounds as well as `normal' underwater sounds (background noise) and underwater sounds that boats make. The purpose of this research is to determine whether the sounds of boats interfere with the communication that occurs between beluga. The field crew will camp at Cape Lambton and make day trips to the recording sites out on the...
