WHAT IS SeaBASS? SEABASS provides the opportunity for
graduate students interested in pursuing careers in marine bioacoustics to
develop a strong foundation of both marine animal biology and acoustics from
distinguished lecturers in the field. The goals of SeaBASS are to discuss
important topics in marine bioacoustics, foster technical communication across
disciplines, and promote mentoring and collaboration. SeaBASS gives
students an opportunity to learn from experts who will discuss a suite of
topics not often offered at any one university.
