معرفی
Dr. Cristina Tollefsen is a Research Fellow at Curtin University's School of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. She is affiliated with the External Collaborative Research Centre for Marine Science and Technology. Her research focuses on marine acoustics, underwater noise monitoring, and environmental impact assessments in marine ecosystems. Key areas include analyzing hydrophone placement effects in coral reefs, mysticete vocalization patterns, and geoacoustic seabed modeling.
Her work integrates acoustic engineering with marine biology, addressing challenges in underwater sensor calibration (e.g., ST500/ST600 recorders) and anthropogenic noise impacts in coastal zones like Cockburn Sound. Recent studies emphasize stochastic modeling approaches for acoustic variability and the role of sea ice in fin whale communication.
Dr. Tollefsen collaborates extensively with institutions like the Centre for Marine Science and Technology, contributing to projects such as the Target and Reverberation Experiment (2013) and the Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System (CIOOS). Her publications span both peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Frontiers in Remote Sensing, IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering) and conference proceedings, demonstrating cross-disciplinary impact in marine science and engineering.
