Mentor Areas
Oceanography, sound propagation in the ocean, locating sounds
Description:
Visually identify calls from whales from receivers placed on the sea-bottom north of Cape Cod. Data will be used to determine how well sounds can be located from measurements of their times-differences-of-arrival between pairs of receivers.
Students with skills in software, mathematics, physics, and engineering might later be involved in advanced oceanographic research areas. Send resume and transcript to John Spiesberger at johnsr@sas.upenn.edu, in the Dept. of Earth and Environmental Science. Up to 20 hours/week. Paid positions are workstudy only.
