Contribution: Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program - Collaborative R&D Initiatives

Memorial University of Newfoundland

$344,531.00

Advanced marine acoustics technology platform and laboratory

FY 2020-21 · 2020-11-30

Summary
The objective of the collaborative equipment contribution Project is to support the development a new “Advanced Marine Acoustics Laboratory”, which will act as technology platform enabling research in the advancement of computational tools for the prediction of noise on and from ships, and in monitoring underwater noise pollution from ships. The collaborative research resulting from the new advanced marine acoustics laboratory will include: the design of propellers improving ship efficiency and reducing noise pollution; the mitigation of environmental impact of ship operations; the improvement of safety on ships; the development of technology to reduce noise exposure of crew members; and the development of technology for monitoring anthropogenic underwater noise pollution. The new “Advanced Marine Acoustics Laboratory” will establish a technological platform for gaining insights related to noise generation and propagation from ships. This will be unique in Canada and attract researchers from industry, other universities and top performing graduate students.

Description (French)
Ce projet de contribution concernant l’acquisition d’équipement commun mènera à l’aménagement d’un nouveau « laboratoire de pointe en acoustique marine ». Ce laboratoire servira de plateforme technologique pour la recherche et pour le perfectionnement d’outils computationnels dont on se servira pour prévoir le bruit engendré par les navires et surveiller la pollution par le bruit sous-marin. Les recherches coopératives entreprises au nouveau laboratoire d’acoustique marine incluront ce qui suit : conception d’hélices qui rendront les navires plus performants tout en réduisant la pollution par le bruit; atténuation des répercussions des opérations maritimes sur l’environnement; amélioration de la sécurité en mer; élaboration de technologies qui exposeront moins l’équipage au bruit; développement de technologies pour surveiller la pollution par le bruit sous-marin d’origine anthropique. Le nouveau « laboratoire de pointe en acoustique marine » créera une plateforme technologique qui nous en apprendra davantage sur la production et la propagation du bruit par les navires. Puisqu’il n’existe aucune autre installation du genre au pays, le laboratoire attirera des chercheurs de l’industrie et des universités ainsi que les meilleurs étudiants des cycles supérieurs.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
