Listening to, and evaluating soundscapes, is a great way to understand the habitat from which it comes. A biologically healthy soundscape is like a well-tuned orchestra; acoustical niches are inhabited across the entire auditory band of its inhabitants.
Substrate-borne vibrations are a communication channel every bit as complex as air and water-borne acoustical communication channels – with biological implications
Every three years there is a gathering of folks involved in marine bioacoustics who confer, share notes, present our work, and cultivate relationships with others in the field.
Should we not prevail in the next election, we can expect to see all of our Federal regulatory agencies nestled in the armpit of some Congressional oversight committee…
The bio-physics of deep diving mammals – that withstand pressures in excess of 4000lb.sq.in. And who else they find down in the abyss…
Manipulating time, space, sample count, and energy into visual fields, giving researchers methods to reach our collective imagination – toward a deeper understanding of the world we inhabit.
I often feel a bit like Cassandra, not being believed while trying to convey ideas before their time, and then having the satisfaction of finally seeing them implemented.
As we start installing these many offshore wind projects over the next 30 years, we will be rapidly transforming habitats that marine life has been adapting to since the beginning of biological time.
