Bio/Research
Hal Whitehead carries out field studies of sperm and northern bottlenose whales. His research focuses on their behavior, principally social organization and the transmission of culture among these cetaceans, as well as on their ecology and population biology. He tracks them by passive listening, identifies individuals photographically, and uses acoustics and genetics to study social and population structures. Particular interests are the development of techniques of studying social structure and culture in whales and dolphins.
