David is Vice President
of JASCO Research Ltd. He has worked as an
acoustician with JASCO since 1989 and is experienced
in all aspects of underwater acoustic signal measurements,
signal processing and modeling. He has extensive experience in acoustic EIA directed
at the environmental impacts of underwater noise generated by explosives, airgun
systems, vessel noises, industrial noises and sonars. He has designed and managed
numerous field monitoring programs throughout the world. David has published papers
on high-resolution measurement of source levels of underwater explosives, geoacoustic
methods and acoustic signal localization. He has been involved in development of
specialized acoustic signal processing methods and propagation modeling methods
for use at predicting noise levels from several types of industrial operations.
He has developed optimized inversion methods for geoacoustic parametric classification
used in seismic exploration. His work on numerical propagation models utilizing
wavenumber integral methods and parabolic equation methods has led to commercial
software programs that are used to predict acoustic fields from man-made noise sources.
