I’ve just completed Seiche’s advanced training course in Marine Acoustics and Signal Processing (an unanticipated benefit of everything moving online during these locked-down months).

It was brilliant to spend a week concentrating on sound in water – revising my original training in acoustics, and expanding my understanding beyond my recent realms of sound in air, in computers and our brains…

The course covered:

• Acoustics in the ocean environment
• Underwater noise sources and receivers
• Underwater acoustic modelling
• The sonar equation and dBs in ocean acoustics
• Signal processing, features, metrics and statistics
• Environmental impact assessment, especially of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals

Funding

I would like to thank the UK Acoustics Network for generously funding my place on this course.
