Abu Dhabi:The Yas SeaWorld Research and Rescue Centre, in collaboration with Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, is set to host a Science Talk titled 'The Languages of the Cetaceans' on 29th October. This event aims to engage the public in exploring the communication methods of whales and dolphins and to present the latest research in understanding their languages.

According to Wam, the talk will occur at 1830 in the Centre's auditorium and will be led by Dr. Olivier Adam, Deputy Director of the Ocean Institute at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi. Dr. Adam will share insights into the use of sound by whales and dolphins for communication and social bonding. The discussion will also cover the unique vocal mechanisms of different whale species and the potential role of artificial intelligence in deciphering these underwater conversations.

This session is part of the Centre's ongoing efforts to raise awareness about marine life and its protection, providing the public with an opportunity to learn about the latest scientific discoveries and research in the field. Since its inception in 2023, the Science Talk series has attracted nearly 4,000 guests, fostering discussions on science, environmental conservation, and the natural history of the Arabian region. Through these expert-led discussions, the series aims to inspire a deeper understanding of the natural world and the importance of its conservation for future generations.
