Estimating beluga whale abundance from space: using drones to ground‐validate VHR satellite imagery
Remote Sensing in Ecology and ConservationRoutine monitoring of cetaceans is imperative for understanding their population trends and making informed management decisions. However, the inherent nature of cetaceans and the marine ecosystems they inhabit make annual population surveys logistically

Relation between beluga whale aggregations and sea temperature on climate change forecasts
Frontiers in Marine ScienceClimate change has been shown to alter the spatial distribution of whales and other marine mammals. Fast changing ocean temperatures may also affect the spatial distribution of whales at a finer scale, namely within populations, including aggregation ...

Serological Detection of Marine Origin Brucella Exposure in Two Alaska Beluga Stocks
Animals, 2022 Among emerging threats to the Arctic is the introduction, spread, or resurgence of disease. Marine brucellosis is an emerging disease concern among free-ranging cetaceans and is less well-studied than terrestrial forms.
