Title:
Advanced marine acoustics technology platform and laboratory
Agreement Value:
$344,531.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 30, 2020 - Mar 31, 2022
Description:
The objective of the collaborative equipment contribution Project is to support the development a new “Advanced Marine Acoustics Laboratory”, which will act as technology platform enabling research in the advancement of
computational tools for the prediction of noise on and from ships, and in monitoring underwater noise pollution from ships. The collaborative research resulting from the new advanced marine acoustics laboratory will include: the
design of propellers improving ship efficiency and reducing noise pollution; the mitigation of environmental impact of ship operations; the improvement of safety on ships; the development of technology to reduce noise exposure of
crew members; and the development of technology for monitoring anthropogenic underwater noise pollution. The new “Advanced Marine Acoustics Laboratory” will establish a technological platform for gaining
insights related to noise generation and propagation from ships. This will be unique in Canada and attract researchers from industry, other universities and top performing graduate students.
