Philippe Blondel is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bath, Department of Physics and a researcher in underwater acoustics and ocean science. His research focuses on remote sensing and its applications to environmental underwater acoustics and environmental assessments. This research is based on the development of new experimental and processing techniques, in conjunction with data acquired in wide-ranging experiments (at sea and in the laboratory) and use of relevant models of sound production and propagation in complex environments.

Jonathan Cleverly is a doctoral candidate in Environmental Physics/Underwater Acoustics at University of Bath, working on the acoustics of climate change using long-term observations in the Arctic Ocean . By obtaining temporospatial trends of various sonic phenomena, such marine mammal vocalisations, anthropogenic noise and sounds from sea ice dynamics (cryophonics), localised impacts of climate change can be monitored. He utilises acoustic variability metrics (acoustic indices), image processing techniques on spectrograms and various machine learning techniques to both detect specific sounds in recordings and observe how the soundscape develops as a whole across seasons.

Espen Storheim is a scientist at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center. He has a background in acoustics. In recent years his focus has been on underwater acoustics, such as acoustic tomography, signal- and data processing, passive acoustics, and acoustic propagation modelling. He has participated in more than 10 research cruises with different ships (fishing vessels, Coast Guard vessels, and a cruise ship). He works in the lab, on deck and on the sea-ice with a wide range of instruments and equipment, and with deployment and recovery of moorings and drifting buoys.

Marianna Anichini is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bergen. Her work focuses on acoustics and sound processing, with a preference for underwater acoustics. Her background is in investigating acoustic communication in many animal models, more recently working on analysing underwater soundscapes. She currently studies geophony, detection, localization and analysis of geohazard events (earthquakes) in the Arctic region.
