Signal and Noise in 3D Environments

Abstract

I have been developing fast acoustic models for complicated 3D environments. I have also been doing a great deal of work in modeling the noise field (the ocean soundscape) due to various sources including shipping and winds. The research described here combines those themes with the overarching goal of using the natural noise field or soundscape to learn about the ocean environment. I distinguish this from geoacoustic inversion and ocean tomography, in that the methods envisioned will rely on broader features of the soundscape.
