Noisy Oceans

A comprehensive review of the sources and impacts of different types of marine noiseMeasuring 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 sourcesExisting and new methods for studying acoustic signalsCase studies from around the worldSpans disciplines from geology and geophysicists to biologyExplores the impacts and implications of marine noiseThe American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
