Biography
Dr. Storlund has developed a micro-credential course in ocean science communication. With Canada’s blue economy rapidly expanding, there is a growing need for a workforce skilled in sharing ocean research with diverse audiences, including stakeholders and rightsholders. Her course addresses this need through active, experiential learning, drawing on her teaching experience and research in self-regulated learning. Alongside this work, she studies the circulatory changes that occur during diving in seals and sea lions, research that provides insights into marine mammal behaviour and management in changing environments.
Research Interests
Diving physiology, marine mammals, science communication
