  • Applications of slow-moving autonomous platforms for passive acoustic monitoring and density estimation of marine mammals

    Creator:
    Fregosi, Selene
    Abstract:
    Advances in mobile autonomous vehicles for oceanographic sensing provide new opportunities for passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammals. Acoustically equipped mobile autonomous platforms, including gliders, deep-water profiling floats, and drifting surface buoys can survey for a variety of marine mammal species over intermediate spatiotemporal scales. Additionally, such mobile platforms may...

  • Long Term Trends and Sources of Sound in United States Waters

    Creator:
    Haver, Samara M.
    Abstract:
    Passive acoustic monitoring is a valuable tool for observing the status of marine environments. Comparisons of underwater soundscapes over temporal and spatial scales can provide data to inform marine conservation efforts, including protection of threatened and endangered species. This dissertation utilizes passive acoustic data collected via a broadly spaced array...

  • Ecology and Distribution of Blue Whales in New Zealand Across Spatial and Temporal Scales

    Creator:
    Barlow, Dawn R.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of mobile marine predators often reflects underlying dynamic ecological processes. The geographical focus of this PhD is the South Taranaki Bight (STB) of New Zealand, where wind-driven coastal upwelling generates productivity and prey to support a blue whale foraging ground. The STB is also New Zealand’s most industrial...
