Just out in @ArcticScienceJ, our latest paper on exposure of bowhead whales to vessel traffic in the Pacific #Arctic. Led by @_mjmartin with many lovely co-authors. @WCS_Canada @UVicSEOS https://t.co/kzhWoJMRPG

📰NEW PUBLICATION!🐋 In our new paper in @JAppliedEcology, we show how 'not all maps are equal' when it comes to mapping risk..We apply the same data (bowhead whale and Arctic vessel traffic) to 8 different models, and find nuances in where is predicted as 'high risk' 🗺

I am excited to share our new paper on the automatic detection of fish sounds: https://t.co/18WGznRF8k Automatic detection of unidentified fish sounds: a comparison of traditional machine learning with deep learning #fishsounds 🐠🐟🔊 🧵1/5

And apparently I just posted all of this under my personal account rather than the @CanFieldNat account. Oh well. Go give CFN a follow and read the cool new content!

Study Looks at How #ShipNoise Affects Arctic #MarineMammals | By @NoorMubarik for @CBCNews Underwater #Arctic noise, says researcher William Halliday, can lead animals "to stop foraging or to leave an area, to maybe even change their migration route." https://t.co/gsZ5ei5Il5

🔟First up in our Top Articles of 2023 Countdown is "Exposure and behavioural responses of tagged #bowhead whales to vessels in the Pacific #Arctic" by @_mjmartin, @wdhalliday, @WCS_Canada, and colleagues. Check it out here: https://t.co/OxeHqmpNhc #BestOfCSP

For profs/researchers worried about their students using AI for writing, the fact that it used to be bad at citations was a relatively straightforward way to catch people using it. Apparently that is less of an issue now...

With no more ships headed for the #NorthwestPassage, I think it's safety say the transit season has ended for 2023 and it's time to summarize this year's voyages based on my previous tweets. https://t.co/vfooTjW01V (1/8)
