Chief Scientist, Tom Norris, presenting real-time passive acoustic monitoring results of the a large-scale vessel survey of western Canadian offshore waters at the Acoustical Society of America Meeting in San Diego. See PRISMM project...
We are leading an R&D project to develop a fully digital, three-dimensional, towed hydrophone array system (the 3-D-V Array). It will be capable of obtaining 3-D bearings, and ultimately, localizations to sound sources such...
The Pacific Region International Survey of Marine Megafauna (PRISMM) survey consisted of an extensive line transect survey that included both visual and passive acoustic monitoring components. This was the first systematic survey of marine...
Irrawaddy Dolphin Conservation Kien Giang Biosphere Reserve, Vietnam We are collaborating with researchers in Vietnam who are assessing the occurrence of endangered Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris) in the Kien Giang Biosphere Reserve, Vietnam. This...
We recently developed a modular system of affordable autonomous recorders called SonarPoint. This system consists of an array of 3-5 recorders that are precisely time-synchronized to allow localization and tracking of marine mammals and...
Chief Scientist Tom Norris recently co-chaired a special session on ‘Passive Acoustic Density Estimation: Recent advances and outcomes’ for the 176th Joint Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America and the Canadian Acoustical Association held in...
Founder and Chief Scientist Tom Norris gave a talk at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography for the American Cetacean Society (San Diego Chapter) about applying new passive acoustic technologies to issues in conservation biology....
