ocean acoustics

The oceans, covering 70% of the earth’s surface, remain a remarkable frontier on our own planet. While there are numerous ways of exploring its vastness, our research is focused on using sound as a means to probing its secrets. We develop theory and modeling approaches, backed/ motivated by experimental observations, to increase our understanding of the ocean environment and the behavior of marine mammals.
