🌊 Sound travels far in the ocean—so can your curiosity. 🔊

Learn ocean acoustics with interactive Jupyter notebooks!

Ever wondered how whales chat across vast ocean basins? Or how we can “see” underwater without light to track fish or map the seafloor?  

If you’ve ever been curious about these questions, the Bridge to Ocean Acoustics and Technology (BOAT) program is for you!

BOAT workshops give you a hands-on introduction to ocean acoustics—from fundamental concepts to real-world applications—using interactive Jupyter notebooks. No prior background in acoustics needed!
