Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve

14 Apr, 10 AM - 14 May, 08 AM

I will be measuring the breathing rates, swimming speed, and blow duration for northward migrating gray whale cow-calf pairs as they travel past central California. My primary study site will be off of Highway 1, 8 miles south of Gorda Springs. Other study sites include various turnoffs along the highway from Big Sur down to San Simeon. The whales will be tracked from shore as they come into view using a theodolite and monitored until they pass the study site. I will also video record the whales so that breathing rates and blow durations can be determined. This information will then be incorporated into energetic models.I hope to use Big Creek as my lodging for the duration of my study.
