Whales and long-distance singing

New York, USA (Newswise): Cornell University researcher Christopher Clark has been listening to whale songs and calls in the North Atlantic using the US navy's antisubmarine listening system. From the acoustical maps he and his colleagues have obtained, Clark has realized that there is a time delay in the water, and the response times for whale communication are not the same as for humans.
Clark discussed his research into the rich acoustical environment of whales at a news briefing during the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) on Feb. 19 in Washington, D.C.
