Die Welt der Wale und Delfine ist vor allem eine akustische. Für uns vor allem optische Wesen fällt das Verständnis für die akustische Orientierung und akustische Kommunikation im Lebensraum Meer manchmal etwas schwer. Einen brillanten Zugang in diese Welt verschafft die Internetseite Discovery of Sound in the Sea
. The Discovery of Sound in the Sea web site will introduce you to the science and uses of Sound in the Sea. There are several major sections on the site such as The Science of Sound in the Sea, People and Sound in the Sea, and Animals and Sound in the Sea. You will find the site's Audio Gallery a fascinating place to visit where you can listen to underwater sounds created by marine animals, human activities, and natural phenomena such as lightning, earthquakes, and rain. Check out the technology gallery and discover a variety of equipment that uses sound to investigate the ocean. Watch video interviews with scientists that study how marine animals produce and hear sounds. Investigate how scientists use underwater acoustics to track ocean currents, identify potential obstacles, and quantify fish distributions. There is also a special section for teachers with resources and classroom activities. Wo alle Grundlagen verständlich und umfangreich erklärt werden, sollte man die Informationen über den Einsatz von akustischen Techniken bei Militär und Forschung kritisch lesen, denn Geldgeber dieser Seite ist das U.S. Office of Naval Research. The Discovery of Sound in the Sea web site has been developed by the University of Rhode Island's (URI) Office of Marine Programs (OMP) in partnership with Marine Acoustics, Inc. of Newport, RI. Many other people contributed to the site, including independent scientific reviewers and ten Rhode Island school teachers.
