Example project locations & porpoise research
Some personnel are currently working off the coast of Africa on a seismic acquisition project, while others are more locally based off the cost of Scotland. We just finished a long-term porpoise monitoring project in the North Sea, presented the results to our client, and have hopefully secured more funding for continued work in 2011-2012.

Currently analysing data from T-PODs, C-PODs, underwater sound measurements and CTDs, for publications in prep. Submitted abstract for Cork Anthropogenic sound conference. Reviewing job applications for summer field season.
