Research – Global
We conduct a broad range of terrestrial, aquatic, and marine bioacoustic research, often at large geographic scales. Many of our projects are applied, featuring a strong focus on the conservation of endangered species. More recently we have engaged in soundscape ecology research and the development of acoustic metrics to assess biodiversity and ecosystem health. We are also researching new ways to collect and analyze acoustic data sets using autonomous mobile systems and algorithm development. Here is an overview of our current research portfolio:
- Acoustic Localization and Density Estimation
Automating acoustic tools to estimate species abundance for efficient, large-scale conservation monitoring.
- Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) for Marine Conservation
Repurposing telecom cables for real-time underwater acoustic monitoring.
- Reef Systems and Climate Change
Monitoring reef ecosystems to assess biodiversity, track species, and understand environmental impacts.
