A new model accurately predicts the migration of humpback whales—and may help them survive climate change

This year's humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) season in Australia has almost come to an end. The beloved mammals are on their way to Antarctica for a summer of feeding. Next year from April onwards, millions of people will again witness their movements and acrobatic displays—either from the coast or by joining one of the hundreds of whale-watch boat operators.
