Acoustic Monitoring Program: Vents Program - Studying ocean seismicity, bioacoustics, and environmental noise using the U.S. Navy SOund SUrveillance System (SOSUS) network and autonomous underwater hydrophones.
Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate (ATOC) - Goals are to gather information about temperatures in the ocean in order to verify existing climate models, and to assess the potential effects of low frequency sound transmissions on marine mammals and sea turtles.
Acoustical Oceanography Research Group - Institute of Ocean Sciences - Studies air-sea interaction and upper ocean processes, stratified flow over topography, high-frequency acoustical propagation and imaging, as well as applied topics in the long range detection of fish.
Marine Ecosystems Studies - BAE Systems - Conducts studies of marine life, using acoustical methods, that have led to improvements in the ability of scientists to describe the spatial and temporal pattern of life in the sea.
Ocean Acoustics Division (OAD) - Investigates the role of ocean features and processes in sewage effluent and dredge material transport and dispersal using acoustics and other advanced technologies.
