Abstract

The Acoustical Oceanography (AO) technical committee focuses on the development and use of acoustical techniques to understand the physical, biological, geological, and chemical parameters and processes that occur in the ocean interior and its boundaries. Acoustical techniques are uniquely suited for investigating underwater environments due to the low attenuation of sound relative to other commonly used remote sensing techniques based on electromagnetic radiation. The research encompassed by the AO technical committee is highly inter- and multi-disciplinary, with strong overlap with research addressed in the Animal Bioacoustics, Signal Processing, and Underwater Acoustics technical committees. In this presentation, an overview of recent “hot topics” in Acoustical Oceanography will be given, in addition to embarking on a discussion of the role of the AO technical committee in fostering education and leading the way in determining new and innovative directions in the specialization area.
