About JASCO Applied Sciences

 

Sound science and technical excellence

JASCO Applied Sciences provides consulting and research services for assessing and mitigating underwater noise.

Since its origin in 1981, JASCO has been developing and implementing acoustic technologies ranging from advanced acoustic recorder design to complex acoustic and behavioural modelling algorithms to comprehensive field monitoring and data analysis, including acoustic detection of marine mammals and human sources.

 
 
 

A world leader in underwater acoustics

JASCO Applied Sciences is a world leader in the science of underwater noise and its effects on marine life. Our highly skilled acousticians, oceanographers, marine biologists, engineers, and technologists provide scientific expertise and advanced acoustic monitoring equipment for all aspects of acoustic impact assessments. We provide worldwide services from offices in North America, Europe, and Australia.
