Together we will develop new projects and grow the diversity of marine research and technology development initiatives.
Acoustic Monitoring: Listening to our oceans
We are currently developing an acoustic monitoring project which utilises low-cost hydrophone and geophone (OBX) sensors to monitor local soundscapes. During this project, vessels will be able to detect and characterise a range of processes/activities:
Geophony: Tides, currents, earthquakes, sediment flows, subsurface and seafloor fluid flow etc.
Biophony: Cetaceans, fish, invertebrates
Anthrophony: Ships, seismic surveys, oil and gas exploration and production operations
Can you help us listen to our oceans?
Listening to a diverse range of ocean settings is important for monitoring general ocean health, geohazard assessments and understanding Earth and ocean responses to climate change.
Reach out if you would like to get involved.
