Relaxing research?
Are you a whale fan? Do you like to listen to the sounds
whales make when they communicate? If so, go to WhaleFM, a new joint project of the Zooniverse and Scientific American, where
you can listen in AND contribute to scientific research all at the same time.
The aim of WhaleFM is to group similar sounding whale calls together for
further analysis by marine scientists. Contributors listen to whale sounds and
find the closest match for them. There is a tutorial for those interested in taking part in
the research. At present the site displays calls from both Orcas and Pilot
Whales.
