Area of Expertise:

Dr. Corinne Pomerleau is a researcher at the DND Canadian Forces Maritime Experimental and Test Ranges in Nanoose Bay. Her work is focus within the Central Strait of Georgia, particularly in and around area Whiskey Golf and in Hotham Sound. Her research interests include the spatial and temporal changes in zooplankton and water mass structure and how this is related to marine mammal foraging and seabird feeding hotpots. She is interested in real-time detection of marine mammals, particularly killer whales, using passive acoustic monitoring. She is also interested in the effects of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals, particularly on their distribution, feeding and vocal behaviour.
