Announcements

Attention Stony Brook
undergraduate marine science majors:
I am looking for students to
assist in the analysis of dolphin vocalization recordings. You may be
able to receive academic credit for conducting research in my lab. If
interested, please contact me.

The
Warren Lab spent part of the the
summer in the Bering Sea participating in a NMFS' Alaska
Fisheries Science Center research cruise conducting trawl and
acoustic surveys on the
walleye pollock. Our focus was on collecting measurements to improve
models of Bering Sea
euphausiid target strengths. This research is supported by
NOAA.
Summer student Lauren Bohrer is
currently working on studies of gas production from submerged aquatic
vegetation. She is a participant in SoMAS's Research Experience for
Undergraduate program.
Congratulations to incoming graduate
student, Joy
Smith, whose presentation at the ASA meeting in New Orleans on her
summer research from 2006 was awarded
"Best Student Presentation" in Animal Bioacoustics session. Great job
Joy!
This year's winter term course MAR
388: Tropical Marine Ecology,
was a great success. Despite some rough weather in Jamaica, the
students were able to complete their research projects (and many of
them also got a decent tan). This course will be offered again in
Winter term 2009.
Pioneering graduate student Krissy
Forman
successfully completed her Master's degree in August 2007. Her thesis
entitled "Variability of the material properties of shrimp, fish and
polychaetes with implications for acoustic surveys" is now being turned
into a manuscript.
The work that former summer
undergraduate researcher Joy Smith did in the lab last summer were
recently published in the Journal of the
Acoustical Society of America.
Congratulations Joy! This work will also be presented at the ASA
meeting in November in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The Warren Lab is working on several
current
projects involving analysis of Antarctic krill patches, material
properties of zooplankton and several other projects. Check out what
folks are currently
working on as well as past projects.
During the summer of 2007, we studied ctenophores and other
local
invertebrates as well as starting to analyze some recordings made of a
locally-rescued dolphin.
Our research (in conjunction with Dave
Demer and others) on the
Livingston Island Nearshore Krill Ecosystem Study (LINKES)
now has its own web-page ! Stay tuned for results as we
process and analyze
the data.
