 | The US Navy needs to know how distributions and abundances of light-scattering and sound-scattering organisms in the ocean vary in space and time, particularly in the vertical dimension. Recent field observations have shown that many biological properties may vary substantially over small (e.g. centimeter) scales, commonly referred to as thin layers. Our previous ONR-funded research has allowed us to begin to understand how zooplankton interact with thin layers and how ... |

 | The human auditory system possesses a remarkable ability to differentiate acoustic signals by the vibrational characteristics of their underlying sound sources. Understanding how listeners can detect, discriminate, classify, and remember acoustic source properties formed this project's overall goal. Using methods of signal detection, preliminary studies determined how listeners' sensitivity to auditory signals depends on whether attention is first directed to their acoustic features. Additional studies used perceptual mapping, new spectral ... |
