Bioacoustical Oceanography Workshop
A five week workshop on bioacoustical oceanography will be held at Friday
Harbor Laboratories from July 19 to August 21, 1993. The workshop will
attempt to give participants an extensive overview of the field of
bioacoustics including review of the principles of sound propagation in
the ocean and the basics of acoustic signal processing. Participants
will be introduced to the theory and practical aspects of
multiple-frequency, split-beam, dual-beam, acoustic doppler, and
acoustic imaging techniques. The first two weeks will focus on
lectures, seminars, and demonstrations (many by invited acoustical
experts). The final three weeks will be devoted to experiments, data
analysis and reporting. The intended audience for this workshop
includes graduate students, postdoctoral associates and research
scientists at the beginning of their careers. Course instructors are
Charles Greene (Cornell), Peter Wiebe (Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution, WHOI) and Tim Stanton (WHOI). Further information about
the workshop can be obtained from Dr. Charles Greene, Director, Ocean
Resources & Ecosystems Program, Corson Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca,
NY 14853.
