Dr. John Ford’s Southern Resident Killer Whale Call Catalogue
Forecast whale locations based on hydrophone detections, visual observations from citizen science groups, and environmental data.
Models that identify the source of underwater sounds. Explore our diverse models designed to discern underwater sounds from marine mammals.
Humans and Algorithms Listening to Orcas explores the concept of training artificial intelligence systems to detect underwater whale vocalizations. The research goal is to develop a whale forecasting system to warn nearby ships of whale presence. This could prevent potentially fatal ship strikes for the endangered Southern Resident killer whales and other whale species that frequent the waters of the Salish Sea in the Pacific Northwest.
