Education

We offer training workshops for scientists and students working with animal sounds. These workshops cover basic principles (e.g., digital audio, spectrographic analysis) and specific techniques and software. Throughout our workshops, we emphasize how to avoid common pitfalls and errors in recording and analysis. We also discuss the limitations of acoustic methods and how to set realistic expectations when employing these techniques.

  • Sound Analysis Workshop

    The Center for Conservation Bioacoustics (CCB) at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology offers a week-long introductory-level Sound Analysis Workshop, usually twice per year. The workshop is intended primarily for biologists interested in analysis, visualization, and measurement of animal sounds. We cover basic principles of spectrographic analysis and measurement of animal sounds, as well as specific... See More
