Dear MARMAM, A reminder that ECUA 2012 Abstract deadline is approaching on the 11th January 2012 The 11th European Conference on Underwater Acoustics (ECUA) will be held in Edinburgh between the 2nd and 6th July, 2012. ECUA provides a key international forum for presentation of the latest research and developments in underwater science and engineering. The conference covers all aspects of underwater acoustics but with a strong bioacoustics and ambient and radiate noise theme. Structured sessions are being organized the following areas. BIOACOUSTICS – Keynote: Peter Tyack HEARING RESPONSE Session organizer Klaus Lucke BIOSONAR & BIOMIMETICS Session organizers James Flint & Peter Dobbins PROCESSING OF BIOACOUSTIC SIGNALS Session organizer Paul White BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSE TO UNDERWATER SOUND: Session organizers Tony Hawkins, Art Popper & Jakob Tougaard IMPACT OF UNDERWATER SOUND ON MARINE LIFE: RISK ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION Session organizers Sander van Benda-Beckmann & Martin Siderius AMBIENT & RADIATED NOISE – Keynote Michel André MONITORING TECHNIQUES & LONG-TERM TRENDS IN OCEAN AMBIENT NOISE Session organizers Mark Prior & Ross Chapman NOISE AND VIBRATION FROM MARINE PILING Session organizers Stephen Robinson & Paul Lepper OPERATIONAL NOISE FROM MARINE RENEWABLES Session organizers Stephen Robinson & Paul Lepper RADIATED NOISE FROM SHIPS AND SURFACE PLATFORMS Session organizers Christ de Jong & Anton Homm MARINE RENEWABLES: MAPPING AND MONITORING OF DEVICES AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT Session organizers Philippe Blondel & Paul Lepper POLAR ACOUSTICS Session organizers Jarek Tegowski & Sasha Gavrilov Also many more session in themes including: ACOUSTICAL OCEANOGRAPHY UNDERWATER ACOUSTICS SENSORS & CALIBRATION SIGNAL PROCESSING Contributed papers are welcome in all areas (please submit an abstract by the 11th January 2012): Please visit the conference website www.ecus2012.com<http://www.ecus2012.com> and look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh.
