The growing demand for renewable energy supply stimulates a drastic increase in the
deployment rate of offshore wind energy. Offshore wind power generators are usually …

This newest edition adds new material to all chapters, especially in mathematical
propagation models and special applications and inverse techniques. It has updated …

Underwater radiated noise from shipping is globally pervasive and can cause deleterious
effects on marine life, ranging from behavioural responses to physiological effects. Acoustic …

Effective measures for protecting and preserving the marine environment require an
understanding of the potential impact of anthropogenic sound on marine life. A crucial …

Marine ambient sound levels have risen due to noisy human activities, such as shipping,
fishing, seismic surveys and piling for windfarms. Marine mammals and fishes are two …

Management interventions to reduce human–wildlife conflict can have unintended
consequences for non‐target species. Acoustic deterrent devices (ADDs) are used globally …

An analysis is presented of sound measurements performed near two detonations of
unexploded ordnance (UXO) in the North Sea, at distances ranging from 1.5 to 12 km. The …

The contribution of shipping noise to the background noise in the seas can be estimated by
shipping noise maps. Noise maps can be made by applying appropriate modeling tools for …

Anthropogenic sound in the marine environment can have negative consequences for
marine fauna. Since most sound sources are intermittent or continuous, estimating how …

Seals exposed to intense sounds may suffer hearing loss. After exposure to playbacks of
broadband pile-driving sounds, the temporary hearing threshold shift (TTS) of two harbor …
