A landmark publication in the research on western grey whales and seismic survey noise
/
A landmark Topical Collection on Western Gray Whales and Industry Seismic Operations of 10 peer-reviewed original articles has been published in the journal Environmental Monitoring and Assessment. This comprehensive collection arises from decades of studies of the effects of offshore oil and gas development on the grey whales that gather every summer off Sakhalin Island, Russia. JASCO scientists were involved since 2004 in the underwater acoustics field work and analyses that fed into these papers, in addition to contributing to the yearslong real-time mitigation effort that ensured whales would not be exposed to excessive sound emissions from offshore activities and airguns.
