BI 408/508 MARINE BIOACOUSTICS (2 quarter hour credits) Underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is an effective and widely-used tool for monitoring the occurrence and behavior of sound-producing marine organisms including marine mammals, fish, and invertebrates. In addition, PAM has applications for assessing marine biodiversity, habitat quality, and anthropogenic noise impacts. This course will introduce students to the physics of underwater sound and basics of signal processing, and will provide an overview of biological sounds and applications of PAM in marine ecological monitoring. We will gain hands-on experience by deploying hydrophones in local habitats, and we will work with our recordings as well as pre-existing data sets to learn analysis techniques using freely available bioacoustics software. Instructor: Lisa Munger.

Courses meet all day Saturday and Sunday for two consecutive weekends
