Dear all,
Following a change in circumstances completely beyond our control we
have had to change both the date and location of
the Institute Of Acoustics Underwater
Noise 2008 conference. This has allowed us to move the deadline for abstract
submission to the 1st February 2008.
Below is the revised Call for Papers for the
conference. We look forward to seeing you there.
Simon Richards
Chair, Organising Committee

Underwater Noise Measurement, Impact and Mitigation
14 15 October 2008
Novotel Hotel, Southampton, UK
The Institute of Acoustics is holding a
conference on underwater noise, its measurement,
impacts and mitigation. The meeting is organized
by the Underwater Acoustics Group of the IOA with the support of QinetiQ.
The marine environment is subject to both
natural, ambient noise and man-made noise from
sources such as shipping, offshore oil and gas
platforms, renewable energy generators, seismic
surveys, piling, sonar, fisheries and marine
aggregate extraction. Environmental impact
assessments for all of these activities require
an understanding of the radiated noise from the
activity and the background ambient noise,
together with the means to assess the impact of
the anthropogenic noise on receptors in the
marine environment and instigate appropriate mitigation measures.
This conference is intended to address all of the
issues from the methods used to characterize the
ambient and radiated noise fields quantitatively,
through to the means for assessing the impacts of
noise on marine fauna and steps required for
mitigation. The range of topics will therefore include:
Underwater noise measurement techniques
Noise modelling
Noise generation and coupling mechanisms
Propagation of underwater noise
Impact assessment methodologies
Hearing in marine species
Behavioural impacts
Physiological impacts
Impacts on other acoustic users
Mitigation methods
Mitigation technologies
Intended audience
Sonar developers / operators
Seismic survey industry
Marine construction industry
Marine renewables industry
Offshore industry
Underwater research community
Environmental researchers / consultants
Marine biologists
