A new collaborative study between researchers at Kent State University and Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) has confirmed a way to determine the age of beluga whales - a topic that has been the center of much debate. “Some scientists felt the standard measurement (one growth layer group per year) did not apply to belugas, which made age estimation difficult,” said Joseph Ortiz, Ph.D., professor and assistant chair in the Department of Geology in Kent State’s College of Arts and Sciences.
