| Abstract | Cetaceans are a group of marine mammals that includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. Cetacean studies are particularly challenging in the Southern Ocean because conditions largely limit visual surveys to the austral summer. Passive acoustic monitoring has improved knowledge of cetacean distribution by allowing autonomous, year-round data collection. By comparing cetacean acoustic presence with concurrent oceanographic conditions, this project aims to better predict how cetaceans in the Southern |
