Thousands of marine species from microscopic zooplankton to the largest cetaceans rely on sound for survival and many have ...

Scientists used an acoustic antenna: a group of underwater devices attached to the back of the ship that detect and record ocean sounds from all directions. The antenna allowed them to figure out ...

In 2010, the GA Oceans resolution noted underwater noise as a potential threat to living marine resources and affirmed the importance of sound scientific studies in addressing the issue, while the GA ...

such as that caused by seismic surveys — which create the loudest noises detectable in the ocean — also have a significant effect on whales. In 2002, two dead beaked whales were found stranded in the ...

You will be redirected to our submission process. Since the sound wave is the only information carrier that can propagate long distances in the ocean, underwater acoustic technology based on sound ...

But for the Blue Planet II sound team, the challenges of portraying natural underwater soundscapes are many. Contrary to Cousteau’s notion of ‘the silent world’, the oceans are alive with sound.

Since the sound wave is the only information carrier that can propagate long distances in the ocean, underwater acoustic technology based on sound waves undoubtedly plays an important role in ocean ...

underwater noise has doubled in some areas of the Arctic. This is an incredibly rapid and concerning increase that puts wildlife in danger. Seismic air guns are used during oil and gas exploration to ...

When the Blue Planet II producers asked whether I could help capture the sounds of the animals they were filming, I jumped at the chance. Blue Planet I came out during my PhD when I was first ...
