Noisy Oceans: Monitoring Seismic and Acoustic Signals in the Marine Environment

Measuring devices such as ocean bottom seismometers and hydrophones designed to detect earthquakes pick up many other signals. These were previously ignored as background noise from unknown sources, but advanced technology now allows insights into the noise created from icebergs, ships, hydrothermal vents, whales, rain, marine engineering, and more.

Noisy Oceans: Monitoring Seismic and Acoustic Signals in the Marine Environment is a comprehensive guide to non-tectonic marine noise originating from different environmental, biological, and anthropogenic sources.

Volume highlights include:

Overview of marine soundscapes and their sources
Existing and new methods for studying acoustic signals
Case studies from around the world
Spans disciplines from geology and geophysicists to biology
Explores the impacts and implications of marine noise
