Dear All,
Passive acoustics is now a common tool used to observe cetacean species. The recordings of sounds emitted by whales and dolphins are used to detect the individuals, to classify their sounds and to localize them during their dives.
A scientific workshop on these topics was created in 2003 and was called "International Workshop on Detection, Classification and Localization of Marine Mammals using Passive acoustics".
Every 2 years since, regular sessions have brought together researchers specialized in marine biology, bioacoustics, underwater acoustics, signal processing, pattern recognition and mathematics. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of this workshop, we take the opportunity to publish this book comprising chapters from scientific teams who have actively participated on the advanced international research of cetacean observations.
