Modeling and Validation of the Effects of Sound on the Marine Environment

Abstract

The long-term goals are to develop novel techniques to measure and predict, through modeling, the effect of sound on the marine environment. Modeling includes acoustic sources, propagation and the interaction of sound with animal behavior models. Determining the necessary environmental information such as bathymetry, sound speed and seabed properties for accurate modeling is also an essential component of this work.
