SUMMARY:Applied Bioacoustics in Conservation and Practice Field Course
DESCRIPTION:Hosted in collaboration with the Organization for Tropical Studies and the African Bioacoustics Community\, this hands-on field course explores bioacoustics in terrestrial ecosystems. Participants will gain essential skills and knowledge to apply acoustic methodologies in ecological research and conservation. The two-week program combines theoretical foundations with practical techniques for field recording\, biodiversity monitoring\, and ecosystem assessment\, with a focus on real-world applications in Africa’s rich ecosystems. \nKey Topics: \n\nPrinciples of bioacoustics and sound propagation.\nField recording techniques and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM).\nSignal processing\, data management\, and species classification.\nApplications of bioacoustics in ecosystem monitoring and conservation.\n\nWho Should Apply: Graduate students\, researchers\, conservation practitioners\, and anyone with an interest in using sound as a tool for ecological and conservation research. \nWhat’s Included: \n\nAccommodation\, meals and transportation at the Skukuza Research Station.\nTraining materials and access to field recording equipment.\nInstruction and mentorship from experienced bioacousticians and ecologists\n\nScholarships: A limited number of scholarships are available. Applicants must submit a motivation letter as part of their scholarship application. \nRegistration and more information\nVisit https://tropicalstudies.org/course/applied-bioacoustics/. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis\, and spaces are limited.
