Noisy Oceans: Monitoring Seismic and Acoustic Signals in the Marine Environment

A comprehensive review of the sources and impacts of different types of marine noise

Measuring devices such as ocean bottom seismometers and hydrophones designed to detect earthquakes pick up many other signals. These were previously ignored as background noise from unknown sources, but advanced technology now allows insights into the noise created from icebergs, ships, hydrothermal vents, whales, rain, marine engineering, and more.
