International Conference on Underwater Acoustics (ICUA2024)
Abstract
In 2022, the Institute of Acoustics organised the successful ICUA conference in Southampton. The many advances in the field of underwater acoustics since then make it appropriate to hold another international conference to discuss the latest research and applications.Nick Pace Memorial Session Our friend and colleague left us in 2022 after spending most of his career at Bath. Nick joined Bathin 1973 and organised the first underwater acoustics conference at Bath in 1983, followed by another successful conference in 1993.After nearly a decade on secondment at the NATO Undersea Research Centre in La Spezia (Italy), Nick came back to Bath and organisedanother conference in 2005 with Philippe Blondel. He participated in the last conference at Bath in 2015. In 2024, we will honour his memory and his many achievements in underwater acoustics, at the forefront of instrument development and field deployments, with presentations from many of his former students and colleagues.Topics for this conference include: # Acoustic measurement of sedimenttransport # Ambient sound measurement and modelling # Bioacoustics and Biosonar # Bubble acoustics # Geoacoustic inversion # Effects of sound on marine life # Fluctuations and scattering # Habitat mapping # Marine renewables # Machine learning in underwater acoustics # Measurement and modelling of acoustic particle motion # Measurement and modelling of air guns and air gun arrays # Metamaterials # Noise and vibration from pile driving # Ocean observatories # Polar acoustics # Radiated noise from ships # Scattering from biota and particles in the water column # Sea surface acoustic scattering # Seabed and sediment acoustics # Sediment and bathymetry imaging and mapping # Signal processing # Sonar, vector sensors and transducer technology, testing and calibration # Sonar performancemeasurement and modelling # Standards in underwater acoustics # Synthetic aperture sonar # Target scattering # Tomography # Underwater communications #Underwater propagation # 2D and 3D # Underwater acoustic detection and classification on unexploded ordnance # Very low frequency acoustics Prospective authors for both papers and posters are invited to submit a title and a maximum 300 word abstract on the conference website by 31 January 2024. Authors will be notified by 26 February 2024 and invited to submit a full paper by 29 April 2024. Authors should submit their abstracts on the conference website www.icua2024.org
