The Development of Advanced Passive Acoustic Monitoring Systems Using microMARS Technology

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1014027 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The goal of this project is the development of an advanced yet compact and easy to use passive acoustic monitoring system that will allow localization, tracking and real-time monitoring of marine mammals from their vocalizations. While a variety of localization systems are currently available, few are autonomous recorder based. Advanced microMARS will provide the science community with a practical system for extended duration marine mammal localization that will be available in a number of configurations for deep and shallow water environments alike.
