Invited Lecture

Underwater acoustic sensing and monitoring is currently transitioning from the traditional platform-centric, human-controlled sensing, processing and interpretation, toward distributed sensing concepts using networks of autonomous underwater vehicles. However, being dependent on acoustic communication with a channel capacity many orders of magnitude smaller than the air and land-based...
