Oceanography, University of California, San Diego. His cur- rent research interests include modular array designs for advanced acoustic localization and tomography, 3-D tracking of odontocete sounds using towed array systems, and studies of sperm whale depredation. In 2003-05 he was a principal investigator for the Sperm Whale Seismic Study for the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Minerals Management Service, gaining field experience with passive acoustic monitoring techniques. In 2002, he received the Office of Naval Research Acoustic Entry-Level Faculty Award. In 2005, Thode received the A. B. Wood Medal from the Institute of Acoustics (United Kingdom) “presented to an individual under age 35 for distinguished contributions in the applica- tion of acoustics,” for his efforts in underwater acoustics and marine mammal bioacoustics.
Aaron Thode received his B.S. degree in physics and master’s degree in electrical engineering in 1993 from Stanford University. He received his Ph.D. in oceanog- raphy from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1999, with a thesis that focused on three- dimensional acoustic tracking and tomography of blue whale sounds off California. He was a
postdoctoral scholar in ocean engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1999-2001, and is currently an associate research scientist at the Marine Physical Laboratory at the Scripps Institution of
