This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

A vertical hydrophone array has been developed to provide new insights into harbour porpoise dive depths, underwater movements and echolocation behaviour in tidal habitats. This information is of direct relevance to understanding and reducing environmental impacts of tidal current driven turbines. Analysis of field data is on-going however we have demonstrated that it is possible to…
