Ocean Acoustics Chapter in GIS for Science
Understanding the soundscape of the world involves using an array of global tracking data, acoustic propagation models, and GIS.
Overview of the project
Applied Ocean Sciences had the privilege to write a chapter in Volume 3 of the GIS for Science book from Esri, the leading GIS mapping software provider in the world. This volume titled "GIS for Science: Maps for Saving the Planet", highlights real-world examples of scientists creating maps about saving life on Earth and preserving biodiversity.
