Coming soon - Launching December 2026

Fundamentals of Underwater Acoustics Online Training
Practical Online Training for anyone interested in underwater acoustics - from marine biologists and researchers to students and professionals working in the marine-science sector.

 

 

Working with hydrophones, marine mammals, or underwater noise—but missing an engineering background? This self-paced online course explains underwater acoustics step by step, without overwhelming math. Learn what sound is, what sound influences in the ocean, how sound travels in the ocean, and how to apply your knowledge in your real marine conservation, research and science projects.

​

​

What You Will Learn:

• The Physics & Basics of Sound: Understand what sound actually is, including frequency, wavelength, sound speed, and how to correctly use decibels (dB reference levels in water vs. air).

• What Influences Sound in the Ocean: Explore how temperature, salinity, and pressure shape underwater sound profiles—and how transmission, reflection, absorption, and refraction determine where sound goes.

• Acoustic Propagation & The Sonar Equation: Master transmission loss and the passive/active sonar equations step by step, without getting lost in heavy engineering math.

• Real-World Marine Conservation & Research: Apply your acoustic knowledge directly to hydrophone recordings, marine mammal studies, and underwater noise impact assessments.
