Professor at the Centre for Marine Science and Technology, Curtin University
Professor Robert McCauley is a research scientist at the Centre for Marine Science and Technology at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia. Professor McCauley has been studying how the noise from seismic survey signals impacts marine fauna since 1992 and has been involved with experiments of seismic impacts on plankton, scallops, lobster, squid, octopus, fish, sea turtles and whales. McCauley has spent a career listening to Australia's ocean: trying to understand the numerous biological signals recorded, how they are made and detected by the animals concerned, why they are made and how us humans can use the sounds to study or monitor fauna; plus understanding the myriad of complexities of how sound behaves in the ocean and natural physical ocean noise.
