New England Aquarium

Opened on the Boston Waterfront in 1969, the New England Aquarium is one of the world’s first modern aquariums. Visitors can explore the ocean and visit thousands of marine animals in three levels of world-class exhibits. Combining education, entertainment and action to address the most challenging problems facing the ocean, the New England Aquarium aims to create a new generation of ocean stewards. Since 1972, the Aquarium has been providing free lectures and films by scientists, environmental writers, photographers and many more. Through the generosity of the Lowell Institute, the Aquarium Lecture Series is free and open to the public. Registration is requested and all programs start at 7 p.m. in the Aquarium's Simons IMAX Theatre, unless otherwise noted. Programs last approximately one hour.

    J. Alan Clark speaks about his many years of research on Magellanic penguins in Argentina. In addition to introducing us to the natural history of these penguins, Clark reports on his primary research focus, penguin vocalizations. He discusses the different types of penguin calls and how penguins use these calls. For example, Alan has explored what a female penguin can tell about a male penguin, just by his voice. In addition, Alan discusses the threats facing penguins and penguin conservation.
