- Smoking Hot Data Pipes
One of the biggest challenges that the Bioacoustics Research Program faces is moving the huge amounts of data that we collect through our processing pipeline. The sidebar lists some of the data sources we currently employ. Soon, we will start…
- Scholarships support international training in bioacoustics
Twice a year, BRP offers an intensive five-day introductory Sound Analysis Workshop here at the Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca. The aim of the workshop is to train scientists, especially those new to bioacoustics, how to use modern bioacoustic principles…
