Dr. Mascarenhas,
 
One more new reference can be found in the October 2007 issue of Marine Mammal 
Science.  It is an interesting paper that goes into a lot of analytical work on 
gas bubble growth and exchange as it relates to their dive profiles, etc..  It 
is more about beaked whale diving physiology and behavior than sonar 
specifically, but it is all related to causes of apparent beaked whale 
susceptibility to sonar.  
 
Zimmer, W. M. X., Tyack, P. L. 2007.  Repetitive Shallow Dives Pose 
Decompression Risk in Deep-diving Beaked Whales.  Marine Mammal Science. 23(4): 
888-925
 
Hope this helps,
 
Alex Costidis
