MOCHA - Multi-Study Ocean Acoustics Human Effects Analysis

Abstract

The long-term goal is to substantially enhance our quantitative understanding of the response of marine mammals to navy sonar and other acoustic stimuli, by maximizing the information gain from Behavioral Response Studies (BRSs). We aim to develop and implement innovative methods for the analysis of BRS data, and to complement and enhance analyses already taking place as part of each current Navy-funded BRS project. We aim for synergies by looking at the studies in combination.
