Conference on Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life (2013)

国际和平协会要求为将于2013年8月11日至16日在匈牙利布达佩斯举行的第三届国际噪音对水生生物影响会议提供资金。这次会议是在Nyborg(2007)和Cork(2010)两次成功举行的会议之后举行的，NSF都提供了部分支持。会议的主要目标将是界定目前对水下噪音影响的认识状况，特别是探讨自第二次会议以来三年来在这一领域取得的进展。第三届会议将重点关注最近的研究成果、思想交流、实验方法的讨论和监管问题的分析。广泛的影响这次会议应该有助于形成未来对噪声对水生生物影响的研究和理解。根据前几次会议的经验，所进行的互动和联网使调查人员之间开展了新的合作，使监管机构对可用于其工作的科学有了更广泛的了解，科学家和工业界对监管问题有了更好的了解，调查人员在实验设计和方法方面进行了大量的交叉交流。

The PI requests funding for The Third International Conference on the Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life will take place in Budapest, Hungary, August 11-16, 2013. This meeting follows two successful meetings in Nyborg (2007) and Cork (2010), both of which NSF provided partial support. The major goal of the conference will be to define the current state of knowledge on the impact of underwater noise and, in particular, explore the progress made in this field in the three years since the second Conference. The third Conference will place strong emphasis on recent research results, the sharing of ideas, discussion of experimental approaches, and analysis of regulatory issues.Broader ImpactsThe meeting should help shape future research and understanding of effects of noise on aquatic life. Based on experience from the earlier meetings, the interactions and networking that took place has resulted in new collaborations between investigators, a broader understanding of the science that can be used in their work by regulators, a better understanding of regulatory issues by scientists and industry, and substantial cross-fertilization of experimental design and approaches by investigators.
