Marine Bioacoustics @ Duke University
Marine Laboratory, Beaufort, NC USA 12-24 August, 2012 This course will introduce the concepts
of marine bioacoustics and the methodologies involved generating, recording and
analyzing marine sounds. The course will follow a source, path, receiver model
allowing students to gain a fundamental understanding of how sounds are
generated by natural or anthropogenic sources, how sounds propagate through the
complex marine environment and how marine organisms receive, interpret and use
sound. Emphasis will be placed on methodology and providing participants with
experience operating equipment, collecting data in the field and laboratory and
analyzing acoustic data. The course is designed for graduate students with
interest or current research in the marine bioacoustics field requiring
acoustical technologies and methodologies. Applications are due 1 May 2012, and enrollment is limited to 15 students. Please visit the course website for further information.
