		Dawn, a doctorate student at UC Santa Cruz, studies how the blubber layer and body composition of northern elephant seal pups changes during the postweaning fast, the thermoregulatory abilities of elephant seal pups, and ultimately, survivorship during their first foraging trip to sea.
		A study to determine the susceptibility of the Northern Elephant Seal, Mirounga angustirostris, California Harbor Seal, Phoca vitulina, and California Sea Lion, Zalophus californianus, to the toxic effects of co-planar PCBs, and PCDDs on energy metabolism and adipose tissue function.
		Heart rates of northern elephant seals diving at sea and on land were monitored to test whether a cardiac response to submergence is an important factor in their ability to make repetitive, long-duration dives.
