Prof. Christine Erbe
I am the Director of the Centre for Marine Science and Technology (CMST) at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, and the Director of the Centre of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (COEST) at Curtin Mauritius. With a background in Physics (M.Sc., Dortmund University) and Geophysics (Ph.D., University of British Columbia), I am studying marine soundscapes, passive acoustic monitoring of megafauna, underwater noise generation and propagation, and the effects of noise on animals. I’m a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America, Board member of the International Commission for Acoustics, and member of the intersessional expert group on underwater noise and light pollution of the International Seabed Authority. I chaired the international conference series on the Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life for several years. I have worked on International Standardization Organization (ISO) working groups on underwater noise and on the scientific committee to assess underwater noise impacts on Antarctic fauna for the German Environmental Protection Agency.
Dr. Julia Correa
Julia is a Research Scientist in the Energy Geoscience Division in Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, specializing in the development of intelligent seismic monitoring systems for long-term subsurface surveillance. Julia's work focuses on exploring the use of fiber-optic sensing and permanent seismic sources to create a cost-effective monitoring solution. Currently, Julia is involved in CCS projects, such as the Otway Project in Australia and the Red Trail Energy Project in North Dakota. She was also involved on the Intelligent Monitoring System (IMS) project as part of the Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) commercial CCS project, building a continuous monitoring approach for CO2 plume tracking with DAS/SOV. Additionally, she is involved in the Austin Chalk and Eagle Ford Field Laboratory developing an approach to monitor hydraulic fracturing at high temporal resolution, as well as the FORGE Utah Project, a geothermal energy research project. Julia obtained her PhD from Curtin University in Australia in 2019, where she focused on using DAS for seismic imaging and monitoring of a CO2 injection in the Otway Project. Prior to this, Julia worked as a Field Geophysicist for WesternGeco/Schlumberger in West Africa and Egypt. Julia holds a BSc in Geophysics from Universidade Federal Fluminense in Brazil.
