Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Fifth International Conference on the Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life (AN2019), which will take place during the week of 7-12 July, 2019, in Den Haag, The Netherlands. The conference will follow from, and build upon, the earlier meetings, the most recent of which took place in Dublin in 2016.
These conferences not only cover research on the effects of noise on aquatic life, but also include sessions on aquatic soundscapes, underwater noise measurement and modelling, sound propagation, and noise regulation.
At this point we are in the early planning stages and it will be very helpful for us to have some sense of interest in the meeting from potential participants. Therefore, we have set up a short online survey to get your thoughts on the meeting and to keep a list of interested participants so that we can keep you informed of major progress in planning. In addition, please share the link with others who might be interested in attending the meeting: https://goo.gl/xY6BKr
We have also begun to develop the conference website
Both Facebook and Twitter (@AquaticNoise) accounts have been set up, so please follow us for updates.
Over the coming months, we will set up our Technical Advisory Board, raise funds, and develop a tentative program. We will be announcing calls for papers as well as how to sign up to attend the meeting and make hotel reservations. We are hoping to have sufficient funding to provide some support to students and younger colleagues.
If you have any questions and/or suggestions about AN2019, please contact any of the organizers.
