Advanced Topics in Conservation Bioacoustics

Catalog description

Proficiency in scientific research arises from direct first-hand experience and through interactions with colleagues and mentors. The course Advanced Topics in Conservation Bioacoustics will provide students with hands-on experience in cutting-edge bioacoustic methods. This course will consist of four modules, each built around learning and implementing an acoustic methodology to address a real-life conservation issue. Each module will be taught by an expert in the topic, who will provide introductory lecture material and guide students through hands-on exercises on species from whales to gibbons to owls. These exercises will consist of a curated set of learning materials including original data, analysis scripts, and information about the stakeholders, project and site.
