Alexander has been with JASCO since 2001 and
has extensive experience in underwater acoustic measurement and modeling related
to the impact of human activities on marine mammals and fish. While working at JASCO,
Alexander has been involved in numerous noise assessment studies for marine seismic,
marine pile driving and offshore construction programs in such diverse geographic
locations as the Beaufort Sea, the Sable Gully, the Mackenzie River Delta, the Strait
of Georgia, Sakhalin Island and the Gulf of Thailand. He has also authored many
scientific and technical reports on the findings of these noise assessment studies.
Alexander has extensive scientific programming experience and has developed a large body
of data analysis and signal processing software in both the IDL and Fortran programming
languages. Alexander’s particular specialty is modeling of underwater noise from marine
seismic surveys: as part of his M.Sc. thesis project he wrote a numerical model
for simulating noise emissions from seismic airgun arrays. Alexander has also been involved
in measurement studies of underwater acoustic particle velocity as it pertains to
the impact of airgun and marine pile driving noise on fish.
