Over the last twenty years, many subjectively relevant objective room-acoustics quantities or indicators for evaluating the acoustical quality of an enclosure have been introduced. Whilst indicators give new insight into the acoustical goodness of a receiver position, there is still…

The auditory effects of impulse noise have gained considerable interest among hearing researchers during the last decade. But available evidence relating hearing damage risk to the various physical parameters of this kind of noise still form a fragmental body of…

We propose a new method to localize low-frequency calls in 2D in shallow waters from a sparse array of hydrophones using modal propagation modelling. An analysis of modal propagation modelling of transients signals in shallow water environment shows that the…

This paper aims to share the experiences gained by migrating a preparatory course in acoustics for candidates applying to the graduate program in audiology or speech-language pathology at the University of Ottawa to an online environment. The course is offered…

The threat to the survival of several whale species and the introduction of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) has highlighted the need for better knowledge about the biology and ecology of marine mammals in Canadian waters. The North Pacific…

To the best of our knowledge, all odontocetes produce some kind of click like vocalisation, which is used primarily for echolocation but may also play a role in social communication. Characteristics of these echolocation pulses range from the broad band…
