Deep -sea Mining Acoustics: Site specific Vibroacoustic Propagation Characteristics Offshore Critical Mineral Development Areas

Develops site‑specific models of sound pressure, particle motion, and substrate‑borne vibration from deep‑sea mining activities. Local oceanography and sediment coupling determine exposure levels for taxa from the seabed to the surface. MMA will use the models to predict sound fields and inform impact assessments and noise‑mitigation strategies for critical minerals operations.
