CONSULT WITH OSA

Summer Research

In collaboration with scientists from the University of St Andrews and through the support of the San Diego Workforce Partnership, we enlist the aide of six bioacoustic analysts to address two exciting research topics!

MEET THE TEAM

Marine Mammal Acoustic Occurrence During Platform Conductor Cutting

As part of a study funded by BOEM and led by Tetra Tech, Inc. characterizing the mechanical noise generated during the removal of conductors from an existing oil rig in offshore waters of Southern California, Ocean Science Analytics analyzed passive acoustic data to determine occurrence of marine mammals within the study area.

Coastal and Offshore Oregon Marine Mammal Ecological Study

Ocean Science Analytics is using open-access data from the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) in combination with accessible remotely sensed data to study a dynamic environment along the coastal northeast Pacific Ocean. Specifically we are looking at the influence of the recent warm water anomaly on marine mammal habitat use through exploration of environmental variables and vocal foraging activity.
