September 24, 2024 — 
The Arctic is warming up four times faster than the global average. This provides an opportunity for new predators such as killer whales to make their way into the Arctic, preying on narwhal, bowhead and beluga whales who have never experienced direct predation from them.

Garroway is an associate professor at the department of biological sciences whose research revolves around biodiversity.
