How do the Sounds Generated from the Construction of a Monopile and a Jacket Structure Turbines Compare?
At the 17th Ronald C. Baird Sea Grant Science Symposium Session #3: Sediment and Sound, Jennifer Amaral (Ph.D. student, URI Ocean Engineering and Lead Scientist & Engineer, Marine Acoustics, Inc.) explains what the major differences between monopile and jacket offshore wind structures and how the sound generated from the construction of each varies.
