Conference on Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life (2013)

PI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噪音对水生生物影响国际会议提供资金。这次会议是在Nyborg（2007）和Cork（2010）的两次成功会议之后举行的，这两次会议都得到了NSF的部分支持。会议的主要目标将是确定目前对水下噪音影响的认识状况，特别是探讨第二次会议以来三年来在这一领域取得的进展。第三届会议将着重于最近的研究成果，分享想法，讨论实验方法，并分析监管问题。更广泛的影响会议应有助于塑造未来的研究和理解噪音对水生生物的影响。根据以前会议的经验，所进行的互动和联网促成了研究人员之间的新合作，监管机构对可用于其工作的科学有了更广泛的理解，科学家和行业对监管问题有了更好的理解，研究人员对实验设计和方法有了实质性的交流。

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.
