Overview

Jay Barlow is affiliated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with significant contributions in related subfields such as ecology, oceanography, atmospheric science, global and planetary change, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

Their scholarly work encompasses topics such as marine animal studies overview, underwater acoustics research, Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics, marine and fisheries research, marine and coastal plant biology, cephalopods and marine biology, and animal vocal communication and behavior.

Barlow has published extensively, often collaborating with coauthors including Jeffrey E. Moore, Karin A. Forney, Lisa T. Ballance, Tim Gerrodette, and Erin M. Oleson. Their research appears frequently in venues like Marine Mammal Science, the NOAA Central Library, the journal of cetacean research and management (special issue), The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, and Frontiers in Marine Science.

Selected recent publications include:

  • Mitigating, monitoring and assessing the effects of anthropogenic sound on beaked whales, 2023, The journal of cetacean research and management. Special issue
  • Abundance and densities of beaked and bottlenose whales (family Ziphiidae), 2023, The journal of cetacean research and management. Special issue

Other notable papers by coauthors in related fields are:

  • Understanding the impacts of anthropogenic sound on beaked whales, 2023, The journal of cetacean research and management. Special issue
  • Known and inferred distributions of beaked whale species (Cetacea: Ziphiidae), 2023, The journal of cetacean research and management. Special issue
  • Runs of homozygosity in killer whale genomes provide a global record of demographic histories, 2021, Molecular Ecology

The emphasis in Barlow's work on beaked whales and the impact of anthropogenic noise reflects a specialized interest in marine mammals and their response to environmental changes. Their research includes abundance and density estimates as well as strategies for mitigating human-induced sound effects on marine life.
