South Stream Pipeline – Turkish Sector – Underwater Sound Analysis
November 2013 — Turkey
Client: South Stream Transport B.V.
An acoustic propagation modelling study to estimate noise effects on marine mammals and fish during construction of the South Stream natural gas pipeline at the bottom of the Black Sea. Results from 11 modelled scenarios include instantaneous sound exposure from individual vessels, aggregate instantaneous sound exposure from a group of vessels, and cumulative sound exposure for 24 hours of typical operation.
Underwater Sound Modeling of Low Energy Geophysical Equipment Operations
September 2013 — California, United States
Client: CSA Ocean Sciences
An acoustic modeling study to estimate source levels, beam configuration, and sound exposure levels from low energy geophysical equipment including single- and multi-beam echosounder, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, and boomer. The findings will be used for preliminary assessment of the acoustic impact of geophysical surveys planned in the coastal waters of the State of California.
