Daniel Barrios interned in the Hawai’i office while pursuing a Master’s in Professional Science with the University of Miami from 2022-23. His final thesis used long-term sighting and tag data to examine habitat differences between Cuvier’s and Blainville’s beaked whales, as well as spotted dolphin space use between seasons. Currently, he is working with Cascadia on uncovering links between Hawaiian odontocete habitat use and climatic/temporal variables, including ENSO cycles and seasons.
