Seiche Training is running its program of Underwater Acoustics courses in Canada this July: *UNDERWATER ACOUSTICS IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT * *25th – 27th July 2016* *Coast Victoria Harbourside Hotel and Marina, Victoria, Canada* This three day intensive course equips delegates with a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of underwater acoustics. It then focuses on developing clear, quantitative understanding of the issues involved in the impact of acoustics on marine wildlife. The following topics will be covered: ocean environments, noise propagation models, sound field modeling, methods of assessment, impacts of noise on marine life, mitigation, environmental regulations and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), fisheries, JNCC guidelines and emerging studies and technologies across this field. Delivered by leading research professors and experts including Dr Paul Lepper and Professor Victor Humphrey and run in association with University of Bath, UK, and CPD-accredited by IMarEST. The course is intended for regulators, environmental consultants, researchers and policy/environmental professionals within industry. It will be particularly useful in providing a better understanding of reports that delegates either have to deliver or receive from clients. *UNDERWATER ACOUSTICS AND SONAR SYSTEMS* *25th – 27th July 2016* *Coast Victoria Harbourside Hotel and Marina, Victoria, Canada* This four day intensive course in underwater acoustics is intended for engineers and scientists, particularly within industry and defence. The first part of the course covers the principles of underwater acoustics. This is followed by advanced modules on underwater sound sources with a key emphasis on sonar, seismic imaging, seismic sources and seismic data. Dr Philippe Blondel, Professor Victor Humphrey and Dr Peter Dobbins are the key lecturers for this course. Seiche will also be running these courses in the UK in September 2016 at University of Bath.
