The Charney School has been featured in ISRAEL21c’s most incredible Israeli scientific discoveries so far in 2024, shaping our understanding of the world and its complexities.
The featured research project led by Prof. Roee Diamant (Marine Technologies Dep.) and Dr. Aviad Scheinin (Marine Biology Dep.), is using AI technology to uncover the significant impact of ship noise on dolphin communication.
The Charney School Hosts Successful IAAC Annual Meeting of Graduate Students in Systems and Control
The Israeli Association for Automatic Control (IAAC) held its annual meeting of graduate students in Systems and Control for the first time at the University of Haifa, and it was a resounding success!
Impact of ship noise on dolphins identified for first time with help of AI -new study
A new study by Prof. Roee Diamant and Dr. Aviad Sheinin, found for the first time evidence, using artificial intelligence technology, that ship noise affects dolphins. The researchers, who monitored dolphins in the Gulf of Eilat, found that the dolphins communicate differently and change their vocal behavior when they encounter ship noise, and therefore they are definitely affected by ship noise
Discovery of soft coral species offers new evidence Mediterranean turning tropical
New research carried out by our Morris Kahn Marine Research Station has discovered that coral species common in the warmer Indo-Pacific region and Red Sea are for the first time appearing off Israel’s northern Mediterranean coast — indicating evidence of global warming.
