Research – Asia
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:
Air quality and ecological community soundscapes across BorneoStudying how wildfire smoke impacts wildlife behavior and soundscapes in Borneo’s unprotected lowland forests.
- Integrative monitoring of distribution and health of Borneo’s endangered apes
Long-term research in Borneo’s threatened forests tracks how industrial impacts affect the health and distribution of endangered apes across key landscapes.
- Southeast Asia Research Program
Regional conservation research using acoustic monitoring to study biodiversity and human activity.
