Dear colleague,
I am writingto you in my role of convenor of a joint IAPSO-IASPEI
Symposium,namely, JP6 on: "Acoustical Oceanography", held at the 26th
IUGGGeneral Assembly 2015, Prague, Czech Republic, June 22-July 2, 2015.
(http://www.iugg2015prague.com/)Are youplanning to attend this assembly?We
willpleased with your participation in the JP6 Symposium whose brief
descriptionyou will find below. Please, submit your abstract before 31
January.We wouldgreatly appreciate if you re-send this information to
colleagues potentiallyinterested in these topics.Best regards,

Silvia Blanc, BuenosAires, Argentina (IAPSO)Co-conveners: JohannesSchweitzer,
Oslo, Norway (IASPEI)DescriptionThissymposium encourages oceanographers,
acousticians and seismologists to presentcontributions with new results of
research on topics related to acousticaloceanography in the broadest sense.
Hydroacoustic waves are remarkable means ofexploring ocean properties due to
their ability to travel over long distancesin the water with relatively low
loss in energy, particularly within the SOFARchannel. They may be recorded with
underwater sensors or as seismic waves onland following conversion at the
shoreline. Organizers encourage the submissionof abstracts covering all major
topics on hydroacoustics, including: underwatersound propagation - measurements
and modelling-; investigation of T-waves tounderstand submarine earthquake
processes, to locate these earthquakes and tounderstand different oceanic
processes such as internal waves and ice floes andicebergs; acoustic signal
processing; fisheries acoustics; updated-measurementtechniques; remote sensing
applications; target modelling; volume reverberation;simulated, laboratory and
at-sea experiments to evaluate acoustic parameters;geoacoustics and sediment
characterization. The symposium will provide anexcellent opportunity for
students and young researchers as well as experiencedones to increase
communication among scientists coming from differentdisciplines, enabling the
exchange of relevant
advances.************************************************************************************************************************************************************
