We will use shipping trends data and apply existing sound propagation models⁠ to predict shipping noise by vessel class and speed, and generate maps of traffic noise intensity within an approximate 100 km² radius around high traffic and low traffic regions. We will use these models to develop future scenarios for noise risk under different warming scenarios. We will also use existing year-long (2017-2018) passive acoustic data, collected using bottom-mounted High Frequency Acoustic Recording Packages (HARPs) to characterise seasonal variability in underwater sound levels and validate the noise models. This data will also be used to estimate the exposure of different species of culturally important marine animals (e.g., narwhal, beluga and bowhead whales) to underwater noise from vessel traffic.
