Development and Applications of Technology for Sensing Zooplankton

Abstract

The long-term goal of our research is to improve our ability to observe the ocean's plants, animals, and their physical and chemical environment at critical scales that control how they live, reproduce, and die. We continue to work towards the development of new tools for studying zooplankton and micronekton in their natural habitat. Our current focus involves extending multi-frequency acoustics to include measurements at more than one angle with respect to the incident sound wave.
