This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

… Underwater noise is a severe annoyance and danger to marine life. The innovative HSD (hydro sound damper) leads to an effective general method to … noise. HSD was developed and patented between 2007 and 2010 by the author to reduce general marine noise and especially offshore piling noise. The theory and the acoustical background of … The resonance frequency of the HSD-elements, the optimum damping rate for impact noise, the distribution and the effective frequency range can be fully controlled. Offshore tests and serial …

… This study describes the abundance and distribution of harbour seals, Phoca vitulina , in the Netherlands in relation to environmental … but information on the seals’ habitat use (preference) and on which factors influence their distribution (both natural and anthropogenic) is lacking. In the current study, we utilise data … of the large shipping routes. Pile driving activities could have influenced the seals distribution: Pile driving for OWEZ and then Prinses Amalia Wind Park took up almost a year. The …

Rice et al.
Differing physical characteristics and levels of biological, environmental, and anthropogenic sounds contribute in varying levels of noise in different ocean environments. As a result, animals migrating over large ranges or widely distributed species are now exposed to a myriad of different acoustic environments, within which they must navigate, forage and reproduce. Given current increases in…

Offshore wind farming is a new emerging technology in the field of renewable energies. This study investigates the potential impact of the construction of one of the first major, offshore wind farms (>100 MW) on harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena by means of acoustic porpoise detectors (T-PODs) monitoring porpoise echolocation activity. The monitoring program was established as a…

Microphone arrays are an essential tool in the field of bioacoustics as they provide a nonintrusive way to study animal vocalizations and monitor their movement and behavior. Microphone arrays can be used for passive localization and tracking of sound sources while analyzing beamforming or spatial filtering of the emitted sound. Studying free roaming animals usually requires setting up…
