Sandwiched In with Julia Zeh - Whales of New York

Have you ever wondered what the underwater world off New York sounds like? Join marine biologist and PhD candidate Julia Zeh to explore the whales of New York, the sounds they make, and how scientists study them. More than ten species of whales and dolphins can be found in the New York Bight, the body of water that extends from New York Harbor and the New Jersey coast out to eastern Long Island, but very few people know they’re there. Just outside New York City, scientists are investigating a vibrant aquatic ecosystem that includes everything from the most endangered large whale species to the largest animal to ever live. Julia Zeh is a PhD candidate at Syracuse University, where she is a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellow studying behavior and acoustic communication in large whales. Julia graduated from Schreiber High School in 2014 and received her BA from Columbia University in 2018. (Sponsored by the Library's Nautical Advisory Council)
