Dr Elodie Ledee ~ Adjunct Senior Research Fellow

Dr Elodie Lédée is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Carleton University and Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at James Cook University. Her education and career have spanned France and Australia with an undergraduate degree in Marine Biology, a Masters in Protected Area Management and a PhD in Spatial Ecology from James Cook University.

After completing her PhD, Elodie took a position as Research Associate at the Australian Institute of Marine Science in Australia before moving to Canada to work as a postdoctoral fellow at Carleton University. Elodie has 15 years of experience in research and has published in the scientific literature on marine and freshwater predator movement, ecology, and conservation.
