Past to Present: Northeast Atlantic Sperm Whale Sizes
Ever wondered how big a sperm whale really is? And what that means for their future? Join us for a fascinating journey through over 100 years of whale research, from historic records to cutting-edge drone technology.
Discover how scientists from over 21 organizations and institutions have measured more than 15,000 whales across the Northeast Atlantic, revealing how these ocean giants grow and live—from southern nursery grounds to icy Arctic waters. Learn how new techniques like aerial photogrammetry are helping us to understand the life of a sperm whale like never before.
Featuring insights from international collaborations and fieldwork in Ireland, Norway, and the Azores, this talk offers a rare glimpse into the hidden world of sperm whale size structure - and what it means for future conservation efforts.
Date: Friday, October 3rd at 6:30pm (duration: one hour)
Speaker: Seán O'Callaghan, PhD candidate based at the Marine and Freshwater Research Centre (MFRC) at the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) in Galway, Ireland.
Tickets: online bookings only
Audience: suitable for adults and children aged 12yrs and over (children must be accompanied by an adult)
Location: this is an in-person event at Dublin Zoo
