CSP - International Symposium on Oceanoise Asia 2016
Abstract
a. Technical: Ocean noise is an important indicator of the ocean environment. Over the years, this indicator has contributed much in enhancing our scientific understanding of the natural underwater environment as well as characteristics of the seabed. Recently, the importance of ocean noise has taken another dimension by the fact that it can provide a means to make us aware of man-made effect on the ocean environment. This effect often affects the marine environment adversely and has become a public issue. Upon which, government regulation on ocean noise production and/or mandate means to mitigate the noise source might be legislated. The symposium aims to bring together ocean noise experts in academia, industry, and government regulators to address issues related to mitigation of ocean noise due to man-made effects. This symposium should foster effective discussion on a range of mitigation strategies while minimizing its impact on man-made ocean noise. b. Relevance: Ocean noise is always an important quantity in ASW measure as it is included in the sonar equation. It is also an indicator of ocean environment. The focus areas of the symposium are: (1) ocean acoustics, (2) bio-acoustics, (3) marine mammal behavior, (4) soundscapes, (5) numerical technique & simulation, and (6) noise mitigation. The symposium talks and discussions would contribute to the research of ocean noise and directly support the US Naval Science & Technology Plan. c. Coordination: Coordinated with Dr. Robert Headrick (ONR Code 32) d. Desired Outcome: (1) meaningful information exchange and discussion of research ideas and status during the conference, and (2) collection of papers and presentation materials of the conference
