About
Dr. Holger Klinck is a pioneering bioacoustician whose work has revolutionized the study of marine mammals through passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). His research focuses on developing and deploying autonomous platforms—including gliders, floats, and robot sailboats—to listen for and track cetaceans in remote ocean environments. In his highly cited 2012 paper, Klinck demonstrated how these technologies overcome the limitations of traditional ship-based or fixed hydrophone arrays, enabling long-duration, real-time data collection across vast spatial scales. This work has become foundational for non-invasive marine mammal research, allowing scientists to monitor populations, migration patterns, and behavioral responses to anthropogenic noise with unprecedented efficiency. Klinck’s contributions have been instrumental in advancing conservation efforts, particularly for endangered species like the North Atlantic right whale. With over 4,000 citations across his career, his innovations in PAM have been adopted by research institutions worldwide, cementing his reputation as a leader in bioacoustics and autonomous sensing technology.
