Why listen to the ocean's voices?

This talk highlights renowned scientist Christopher Clark's research on the effects of sonar, shipping noise and offshore energy activities on marine mammals at both local and ocean-basin scales.
His work has been cited by his peers including Peter Tyack's 2010 TED Talk on whale communications.
When asked what he does, Christopher W. Clark’s answer is simple: “I listen to this singing planet!”
Clark pioneered the ocean listening systems for studying whales and other marine life.
His work has been cited by Peter Tyack's 2010 TED Talk on whale communications.
His research has led to a better understanding of the effects of sonar, shipping noise and offshore energy activities on marine mammals at both local and ocean-basin scales.

Most recently, Clark was featured in Discovery Channel documentary films: “Racing Extinction

and “Sonic Sea.”

An engineer and biologist, Clark is the founding director and Imogene Johnson Senior Scientist at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Bioacoustics Research Program at Cornell University.
