Underwater Acoustics International
Conference and Exhibition (UACE2025)
June 15-20, 2025 • Macedonia, Greece
Please join us for a structured session on Marine Bioacoustics at the 8th UACE2025, which will take place in Porto Carras Grand Resort Meliton, Ηalkidiki, Macedonia, Greece, on June 15-20, 2025.
Session Purpose and Scope
This session will cover all aspects of marine bioacoustics including active acoustics, passive acoustics, propagation related to marine life, communication, hearing, and ecology. This session always proves to be an interesting session, is it covers all topics within marine bioacoustics.
Abstracts of papers submitted to Structured Sessions
The authors must submit their abstracts electronically to the Conference Secretariat using the online General Abstract Submission Form no later than January 31, 2025.
Target groups
Scientists and engineers from universities, research institutes, government organizations and industry dealing with all aspects of underwater acoustics. Representatives from naval material commands and procurement offices.
Structure
The conference will comprise a series of structured and regular sessions with oral presentations, as well as of poster sessions. The structured sessions will be organized by key persons actively engaged at the forefronts of research in underwater acoustics and invited papers will be presented by leading international scientists. In addition, most recent research results will be presented in contributed papers forming the basis of regular oral sessions.
