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

Section I Introduction

1. Introduction (GB and FK): Which waveforms (Natural events of a geologic origin that are not related to faults: SDE’s, non-volcanic tremors, gas bubbles; Natural events of a biologic origin: Fish bumps, marine mammal calls; Anthropologic noise: Ship noise, car noise, ambient noise etc…). This chapter will include an introduction to earthquake seismology in order to explain the differences between the non-tectonic events discussed in this document and earthquakes related to tectonic movements.

Section II Natural events of a geologic origin

Chapter 2. Short duration events and pockmark formation (North Sea, Prof Jon Bull^*, University of Southampton, UK; and Vincent Riboulot, Concarneau OBS deployment with divers)

Chapter 3. Short duration events and resonance of vertical fluid migration conduits (i.e. Non-volcanic tremors such as in mud volcanoes (Taiwanese mud-volcanoes, Jing-Yi and Emmi Chang*, National Taiwan University, Taiwan)

Chapter 4. Gas Bubbles (much higher frequency, seen only on hydrophones, e.g.  Prof Jens Greinert, Geomar, Germany or Prof Tim Leighton, University of Southampton or Prof Jean-Yves Royer, University of Bretagne Occidental)

Chapter 5. Events related to hydrothermal circulation (Potential authors to be found)

Chapter 6.  Volcanic Tremors:  Short duration events related to seismo-volcanic activity (SDE’s off Mayotte, Dr Louis Geli^*, Ifremer, France)

Chapter 7. Landslides: a review paper (Dr. Michael Clare*, National Oceanography Centre, UK)

Section III Natural events of a biologic origin

Chapter 8. Whale calls and whale tracking in the Ocean (Prof Tim Minshull*, University of Southampton, UK and Jean-Yves Royer, Ifremer, France)

Chapter 9. Marine mammal calls detection (Prof Paul White*, University of Southampton, UK)

Section IV Anthropogenic noise

Chapter 10. Noise from marine traffic (Prof Paul White*, University of Southampton, UK)

Chapter 11. Car tracking using fibre optic cables at sea (Prof Simon Merkel*, University of Liverpool, UK)

Section V Ambient noise

Chapter 12. Low frequency noise generated by waves and tides (used for approaching the physical properties of the sub-seafloor or, Dr Nick Harmon*, University of Southampton, UK and Jing-Yi and Emmi Chang*, National Taiwan University, Taiwan)
