She directs and coordinates studies on belugas and other Arctic marine mammals through the research programs of the Vancouver Aquarium.<\/p>\n<p>Her encounter with belugas began at the Vancouver Aquarium. As part of her PhD with the University of British Columbia, she studied acoustic communication and learning of vocalizations in this species in captivity. She was the first to document the development of their vocal range and identify contact calls critical for maintaining cohesion within the group. She then compared these results in the wild, notably with the populations of the Nelson River Estuary in Hudson Bay, in Cunningham Inlet on Somerset Island (Nunavut), and now in the St. Lawrence Estuary. These studies allow her to identify the issues that belugas, whose sense of hearing is essential, are encountering in an increasingly noisy environment.<\/p><p><strong>To learn more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>On Whales Online:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baleinesed.wpengine.com\/en\/with-the-belugas-week-of-july18-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mom, Can You Hear Me? \u2013 Continuation<\/a> (With the Belugas: Week of July 18, 2016)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baleinesed.wpengine.com\/les-nouveau-nes-belugas-vocalisent-une-heure-apres-la-naissance-et-apres-12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Les nouveau-n\u00e9s b\u00e9lugas vocalisent une heure apr\u00e8s la naissance, et apr\u00e8s?
