Welcome to the tenth episode of Below the Tide! Jennifer Wladichuk has just completed her postdoc studying Southern Resident Killer Whale echolocation, and using it to assess the impacts of underwater noise on this at-risk species. In this episode Jennifer explains the basics of echolocation and how sound travels underwater, as well as the way it is recorded. We also chat about the journey Jennifer took to get to where she is as a marine biologist now. She is currently working at JASCO Applied Sciences as an acoustician, where she monitors killer whale vocalizations.
