Science Spotlight: 4D Whale Necropsy
Most whale biologists spend their careers in boats getting a glimpse at whales only when they come up to the surface to breathe or occasionally to feed. Recently, a humpback whale was found dead near Sitka, Alaska. The UAS Whale Lab 3-D scanned the whale repeatedly starting with the initial discovery of the whale, through a full necropsy, and complete decomposition.
