Ocean Technology Systems

The world¿s oceans are vast, remote, and physically harsh. These qualities mean it is challenging to measure ocean properties, biological activity, and the impacts of humans on oceans. Through measurements and modelling of ocean noise, methods for using the noise itself as a sensing tool can be developed, allowing the observation of important physical processes and properties of the ocean, surface, and seabed. Better relating these mechanisms to the level and directionality of ocean noise provides a means to predict the ocean soundscape in time, space, and frequency, and improves our ability to monitor human and marine animal underwater activity.
