Bill Burgess received his undergraduate and graduate
degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, and
conducted ocean acoustic research under postdoctoral appointments
at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the Monterey
Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). His technical background
includes geophysical remote sensing with low-frequency radio, bioacoustics,
instrumentation, audio-frequency signal processing, and systems
programming. His field experience includes a total of seven months
at sites in Antarctica, northern Quebec, and the Alaskan Arctic,
and over four months at sea on research vessels in Arctic, Antarctic,
Atlantic, and Pacific waters. Since 1994, Dr. Burgess has designed,
constructed, and programmed two generations of acoustic recording
tags to monitor in-situ noise exposure and response of protected
species; these tags have been deployed with blue and fin whales,
northern elephant seals, and northern fur seals. Dr. Burgess has
also acquired and analyzed acoustic data to assess underwater sound
levels from jet aircraft, rockets, missiles, vessels, airguns, and
pile drivers. Dr. Burgess is the first author of three refereed
journal articles and fifteen papers presented at scientific conferences,
and is a member of the Acoustical Society of America, the IEEE,
the Society for Marine Mammology, and the American Geophysical Union.
