The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proud
to announce an upcoming symposium entitled "Shipping Noise and Marine
Mammals: A Forum for Science, Management and Technology" to be held 18-19
May 2004 in Arlington, Virginia.
NOAA is principal sponsor of this groundbreaking event, which will
highlight state of the art research related to the effect of shipping
noise on marine mammals. The symposium will bring together a diverse
group of stakeholders from the scientific community, regulatory agencies,
and maritime industries in an explorative and collaborative forum.
Symposium partners include NOAA Fisheries, Marine Mammal Commission, U.S.
Navy, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), INTERTANKO, Society for Naval
Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME), University of Alaska Marine
Advisory Program, and Chamber of Shipping of America.
Attendance is FREE with advance registration via the symposium website at
www.shippingnoiseandmarinemammals.com.
If you have questions or comments about the symposium, please contact the
event sponsors, Dr. Brandon Southall ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Dr.
Roger Gentry ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
For more information about registration or event logistics, please contact

Subject: Research Assistantships for Fall 2004
Message-Id:
Speech and Signal Processing Laboratory
Marquette University Electrical and Computer Engineering
Graduate Research Assistantships are currently available for Fall 2004 with
The Dr. Dolittle Project (<a href="http://speechlab.eece.mu.edu/dolittle";
rel="nofollow">http://speechlab.eece.mu.edu/dolittle</a> ) in the
Speech and Signal Processing lab at Marquette University. The fundamental
goal of this research project is to develop a broadly useable framework for
pattern analysis and classification of animal vocalizations, by integrating
successful models and ideas from the field of speech processing and
recognition into bioacoustics. Tasks include automatic vocalization
classification and labeling, individual identification, call type
classification, behavioral vocalization correlations, and studies of
language acquisition and seismic infrasonic communication. Species being
targeted for study include agricultural animals, marine mammals, and several
endangered species, in collaboration with researchers at a number of other
institutions.
Compensation includes tuition reimbursement as well as a monthly stipend of
$1400 per month. Candidates should have a Bachelors or Masters degree in a
discipline related to speech and signal processing or bioacoustics.
The Speech and Signal Processing lab is associated with the Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering at Marquette University, located in
Milwaukee, WI. Interested individuals should send a letter to:
