Acoustical Information

The information on this page will be updated as additional material becomes available.

  • The ICA provides a Calendar of upcoming Meetings and Congresses.
  • See the Map of Acoustical Societies at the EAA website.
  • Link to a site on a Career in Acoustics established by the Acoustical Society of America.
  • Who's Who in Acoustics in India and France 2013
  • Acoustics Today, the science magazine of the Acoustical Society of America, features articles on a wide range of acoustics of interest to ICA members. Acoustics Today is open access and all past issues, as well as new and other things about acoustics, are found at Acoustics Today.
  • Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS) is a comprehensive, educational website on underwater sound, designed to provide accurate scientific information at levels appropriate for all audiences, including decision-makers.


The ICA accepts the position that "effective communication of scientific results and viewpoints to the public is an important responsibility of the scientific community". See the Advisory Note on Science Communication published by the International Council for Science (ICSU).
