The 2020 Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS) webinar series on underwater acoustics has been a great success. Over 350 participants from 24 countries participated in the October 22, 2020, webinar on passive acoustics data and the decision making process. If you missed this webinar, which covered passive acoustic monitoring and how data gathered can inform the decision making process, especially with regards to marine mammals, a webinar archive is now available and can be found here. A PDF of Dr. Henderson's presentation, as well as a Q&A summary is also available for download.

Other critical DOSITS Webinar Series information (please read):

There is one webinar left in the 2020 series. On Thursday, November 19, 2020, at 4pm ET (note the time change), Klaus Lucke will present on the U.S. regulatory approach to underwater noise compared to that of the E.U. and other locations. Individuals must be registered to participate in this webinar. If you have not registered for the 2020 DOSITS webinar series, please go here. All webinars are hosted using Zoom. Webinar testing and troubleshooting tips can be found here. Although Zoom is the preferred mode of connection, if participants are unable to use this platform, a YouTube link will be provided. Zoom and YouTube links will only be shared with registered participants (webinar correspondence will come from webinar@dosits.net-please check spam/junk mail folders if necessary).
All webinars will be recorded and archived on the DOSITS website (DOSITS Webinars).
A certificate of professional development is being offered in association with this webinar series. To receive this certificate, individuals must participate in all four DOSITS webinars (live participation and/or archive review), AND complete the post-webinar surveys unique to each program. Each webinar post-survey has a unique link.
It is time to begin planning the DOSITS 2021 and 2022 webinar programs. The DOSITS Team is asking the broad underwater acoustics community to provide input on future DOSITS webinar topics by taking a brief Webinar Topic Survey. No identifying personal information will be collected. Aggregate survey results will be used for evaluation purposes and may appear in publications, presented at professional meetings, and presented online.
