Hello MARMAM,
The Disturbance Effects of Noise on the Harbour Porpoise Population in the North Sea (DEPONS) model investigates the potential effects of wind farm construction noise on Harbour Porpoise. The research programme has been running since 2012 and is now coming to an end with Version 2.0 of the model launched on January 21st, 2019. The DEPONS team warmly invites you to view and participate in the two DEPONS Webinars. WEBINAR 1 - THE DEPONS STORY; UNDERWATER NOISE, HARBOUR PORPOISE, AND THE OFFSHORE WIND INDUSTRY This webinar occurred on January 21st, 2019, but was recorded and can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIdpVfg50FY&feature=youtu.be The first webinar presented the subject of underwater noise and offshore wind. It explored the context of the DEPONS programme and how it has progressed our understanding and management of the impact of noise on harbor porpoises. It included presentations by Jesper Kyed Larsen (Vattenfall), Richard Sibly (University of Reading), Ross Culloch (Marine Scotland), and Jacob Nabe-Nielsen (Aarhus University). WEBINAR 2 - DEPONS V2.0; MODEL UPDATE AND USE 13th February 2019 12.00-13:00 GMT Register here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/8209343435647796225 The second webinar will go in to more detail about version 2.0 of the model and is aimed at model practitioners, regulators and subject experts. The speakers will cover the basics of the DEPONS model and introduce version 2.0 and how to operate the model and interpret model outcomes. Speakers; Jesper Kyed Larsen (Vattenfall), Jacob Nabe-Nielsen (Aarhus University). There will also be an opportunity for Q&A.
