Workshop Website

The International Quiet Ocean Experiment (IQOE: www.iqoe.org), an international decadal project from 2015 to 2025, was designed to stimulate efforts to document the distribution of sound in the global ocean, how human and natural sources of sound generate these soundscapes, and to estimate current and future effects of sound on marine organisms. IQOE became an international multi-disciplinary forum for ocean acousticians and bioacousticians to develop and explore exciting new research questions and to integrate ocean sound into ocean observation systems.
