Back at the University of Auckland, Emma Carroll trades her immersion suit for a lab coat to study whale genetics, using biopsy samples collected from tohorā in the Auckland Islands. Carroll will use a technique called close-kin mark-recapture, which looks at how often the DNA of particular whale mums and dads shows up in the biopsies in order to estimate the size of a population. Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue: 166 November December 2020.
