Know Your Ocean: Making use of Natural Sounds Underwater.

Dr. Simon Freeman, Program Director at the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA‑E), presented “Signals in noise: Adventures in using natural sounds underwater.” at our June Know Your Ocean speaker series event.  He gave an overview of some of the work his group has performed over the years, focusing on situations where they were able to find helpful information contained in natural ocean soundscapes including those produced by coral reef ecosystems. He then discussed what could happen in the future using natural underwater sounds to quantify carbon capture in the ocean as part of his efforts in working for the Department of Energy.
