Very nice and fun day with perfect weather, sea conditions, and very good company! ☀️🦭🌊

We are underway with the retrieval of detached data storage tags in the #WaddenSea 🇩🇰🦭

See photo captions and previous posts on our page for the building of retrievable tags and their deployment

Deployment of satellite tags on animals has the advantage of the electronics doing the datasampling. Positions, dive depths and underwater 3D movements can be collected for days, weeks and even months. In some cases larger data amounts are being sampled, and the amount of data is too large to transmit to a satellite. Instead, the floating tags need to be recovered after detaching from the animal. Retrieving tags, unless they are being found by people on the beach, can be quite time-consuming. However, with the help from radio transmitters the access to important research data is a great reward for the invested time and logistics.

After months of hard work, I finally submitted my master’s thesis! 🥳 Super proud of our work and deeply grateful to my supervisors Frants and Jeanne, and the whole @marinemammalsau.bsky.social team for being family during this time. Now fingers crossed for the defense! 🤞

Volunteered at the ECS Conference in the Azores last week! Learned a lot, joined a sperm whale comms workshop, and even saw humpbacks off São Miguel 🐋 Grateful for this experience and excited to keep diving into cetacean bioacoustics! 🌊 #ECS2025

This week, our researchers are preparing for fieldwork in Sarasota Bay, Florida, to collect acoustic data on bottlenose dolphins 🐬. While prepping the equipment, students from our Acoustic Ecology Lab took part in DTAGs tracking training. They were happy to see how their data is collected! 🔊🌊
Part of the members of the Acoustic Ecology Lab team from the Institute of Ecoscience - Aarhus University. Master students took part in a search for a hidden DTAg at the Risø campus using VHF antennas. Field work equipment. DTAg ready to go!!
