Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics (LAB)

The open calibration and acoustic measurement tank is a facility dedicated to predicting the multipath structure of the acoustic field created by a point source in the ocean. The aim is to simulate the acoustic environment of a source, considering it as an active system. These simulations help to better understand the location and classification processes, and degradation in the face of high levels of ambient noise.

The Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics was founded to respond with technological solutions to the conservation of the marine habitat and to prevent its progressive deterioration. Its main aim is to develop applications that can limit the effects of anthropogenic noise in the sea and contribute to the sustainable development of marine activities. The solutions developed address requirements established by local, national and international institutions, and the demands of society as a whole, by creating mechanisms for controlling noise pollution in the marine environment.
