PSG 2022 Wildlife Acoustics Workshop
Join Wildlife Acoustics on Tuesday, February 22nd at 9:00am PST to learn about acoustic monitoring as a tool to aid your research and conservation efforts!
Turning Sound into Discovery: Using Bioacoustics to Understand your Seabird
Sound collection and analysis is increasingly becoming a valuable tool for biologists and environmental managers. Seabird research can especially benefit from adding acoustics monitoring as a tool— unattended acoustic recorders provide a non-invasive and cost-effective way to assess species presence within a study site that may be difficult to access, where timing and conditions make traditional methods of monitoring challenging. This workshop will teach seabird researchers about bioacoustics- what it is and how it can be used to answer the questions you are asking. We will review the features and configuration options of the Song Meter SM4 and Song Meter Mini to help you identify the best tool to collect your seabird vocalizations. Time permitting, we will also discuss the free and paid versions of our Kaleidoscope software which allows for efficient analysis of acoustic data. Biologists all over the world have made the Song Meter platform the standard for bioacoustics recording with over 100,000 recorders deployed in 90 countries. Come join us!
