Together with MSc student Oliver Nowak and local hunters, Fredrik Christiansen measured over 500 whales during March-June to investigate their prey consumption and condition. Meanwhile, capturing jaw dropping wildlife footage 📷 🌐🌏🐋🧪

Weekend's work ☀️🦭

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 @au.dk #Science #biomonotoring #research #marineecology #marinemammalreasearch 🌐

🔊Paper out today with @nature.com! Despite decreasing emissions 🌏 mercury levels are rising in some species. Hg Isotopes could reveal why. Our new research shows ocean currents, may now be the main source of mercury in Arctic ecosystems. 🌐🧪🐻‍❄️🐋 @au.dk #Arctic #Mercury #Greenland #MarineEcology
