Martin Nweeia is
principal investigator and expedition leader for Narwhal Tusk
Research, integrating results of scientists with myriad backgrounds
and traditional knowledge of Inuit elders and hunters to discover
the function of the erupted tusk. During six expeditions to
High Arctic communities in Baffin Island and Greenland, Nweeia
studied living narwhal in 36o water and worked on breaking ice
floes with Inuit hunters. His research is supported by the National
Science Foundation and endorsed by the IPY. Dr. Nweeia is in
private practice, a Clinical Instructor at Harvard, and a research
associate in the Marine Mammal Program at the Smithsonian. He
graduated from Trinity College, Hartford, and received his DDS
and DMD degrees from Case School of Dental Medicine. His prior
research interests include dental anthropology studies of living
groups in Micronesia and the Amazon, and odontogenic pathology
research as a graduate fellow in physical anthropology at the
Smithsonian.
