Greetings! The Duke University Marine Lab (DUML) is currently accepting enrollments for our summer Marine Mammals course in Beaufort, North Carolina. This six-week IN PERSON course will cover the biology and conservation of marine mammals. We will introduce you to the basic biology of various taxonomic groups, describe some of the research approaches used to study them, and conclude with a consideration of their conservation. Laboratories and interactive activities will focus on topics including diving physiology, photographic identification methods, population biology, bioacoustics, biologging, and drone technology. We will also take advantage of opportunities to interact with marine mammal experts from DUML and from around the world through virtual guest lectures, field trips, and discussion panels, and through the creation of a DUML Marine Mammals podcast. This course is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students. MARSCI/BIO/ENV 376L (undergraduate) ENVIRON 776L (graduate) (4 Duke credits).
