Research Interests

Marine bio-acoustics, or the study of acoustic behavior by aquatic organisms. In particular, work in my lab asks questions about: (1) Structure, function, and evolution of the vertebrate auditory system, with an emphasis on auditory mechanisms in fishes; and (2) Effects of human-generated (anthropogenic) sound on aquatic organisms, including effects of high-intensity sources and longer-term but lower-level increases in background sound. Studies in both areas involve morphological, physiological, and behavioral approaches to help understand hearing mechanisms and capabilities. Most recently, our work has focussed on the effects of very intense sounds on fish. Studies have involved the effects of very intense sonar. Currently, we are examining how sounds produced during marine construction, and particularly pile driving (as used in the construction of bridges, piers, and wind farms) affect hearing and physiology of fish.
