Prof. Chris Bean, Professor of Geophysics at Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) and iCRAG Co-PI, remarked: “By studying how sounds move through the ocean floor and on to land, we can help build up a picture of ocean function. With over 70% of our planet covered by the sea, and as the largest single source of oxygen for our planet, monitoring and understanding our ocean health is crucial to the sustainable management of this life-giving resource. Seismology delivers new insight into activity in the ocean and ocean state, which we endeavour to capture in this film.”
