With ONR/DURIP funding, we are currently developing the Long-term Acoustic Real-Time Sensor for Polar Areas (LARA) which combines the advantages of both submerged and surface acoustic observing systems. LARA makes stationary passive acoustic monitoring efforts more effective, and provides maximum flexibility allowing for a wide range of applications even in ice-covered polar areas.
