ENSTA Bretagne collaborated with SHOM, DGA, Grenoble's GIPSA Lab and the CHORUS research institute to organize the 5th annual SERENADE (surveillance, study, and recognition of the marine environment by discreet acoustics) workshop in Brest from October 15 to 18, 2018.
The workshop welcomed top experts in the domain, who presented their research during conferences and round table meetings. SERENADE is first and foremost a forum for discussion and the exchange of ideas and brings together French experts who research and study active, discreet and passive acoustic signal treatment and analysis. Participants come together over the workshop's four days to respond to issues raised by environmental, civil and military stakeholders.
Themes addressed at the 5th annual workshop:
- Technology, instrumentation and measurements
- Physics, tomography and geoacoustic inversion
- Signal processing tools for underwater acoustics
- Underwater soundscapes
- Applied underwater acoustics for biodiversity observation
- Acoustic observation of the state of the environment and anthropic pressures and impacts
This year's event was held on the ENSTA Bretagne campus in Brest and focused on the effects of underwater sonar pollution on the ecosystem.
The impact of human activities is a major issue, and risk management in this area is complicated by socio-economic issues linked to marine activity, by our lack of scientific maturity, and by the subject’s complexity.
