An international team of marine scientists, led by the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and the Center for Coastal Studies in the USA, has studied the DNA of family groups from four different whale species to estimate their mutation rates. Using the newly determined rates, the group found that the number of humpback whales in the North Atlantic before whaling was 86 percent lower than earlier studies suggested.

We talk with glaciologist Sofia Ribeiro and marine biologist Mads Peter Heide-Jørgensen about the changes underway as global warming overwhelms Greenland. Our guest in our 'Ocean Favourite' segment is endurance swimmer Lewis Pugh.

They swim in icy waters off the coast of Greenland, dive to depths of nearly two kilometres and are so secluded that, once upon a time

By Todd Woody (Bloomberg) Scientists have found that narwhals are altering their steadfast migration patterns in response to climate change, offering some hope that the tusked whales and other species...

The narwhal is not as well known as the dolphin as the live icy arctic sea and is mostly less studied.

Narwhals are enigmatic marine mammals, fascinating us with their unique appearance and secretive lifestyles under the Arctic sea ice.

Using the mathematical equations of chaos theory to analyse chaotic narwhal behaviour, breeding better peas, engineered living materials & more.

Narwhals are chaotic. At least, that’s what researchers thought until they developed a new math-based method to detect patterns in their seemingly irregular movements. Narwhals (Monodon monoceros) are known as the unicorns of the sea due to their distinctive single tusk, which is actually a feeling, enlarged tooth with up to 10 million nerve endings. […]

Chaos theory, developed by Hokkaido University and Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, improves understanding of Arctic narwhal behavior, with the aim of helping efforts to protect this
