Ocean Giants is a science lecture about Earth's largest animals — the whales inhabiting the world's oceans. Although these remarkable creatures have evolved to thrive in the sea, they have long been difficult to study due to their existence in confined and unknown environments. The speaker explores how modern technology now enables researchers to observe and understand whales' hunting behaviour and sensory abilities in deep water.
The speaker is Peter Teglberg Madsen, professor of sensory physiology at the Department of Biology, Aarhus University. He is one of the world's leading experts on aquatic animal sound communication and hunting mechanisms.
Practical information:
The lecture is streamed live from the Søauditoria at Aarhus University. Admission is free. Held at Risskov Library.
