The course combines theoretical instruction with hands-on demonstrations
and
training to give participants a working knowledge of passive acoustic
monitoring hardware, software and data management and
data-review/analysis. The
goal of this training course is to provide individuals with the necessary
tools
and basic skills to prepare them for work as bio-acoustic field
technicians. This
five day course will be held at the San Diego Supercomputer Center,
located on
the UCSD campus in La Jolla, California.
This course will include lectures, demonstrations and activities on the
following subjects:
- An introduction to the physics of underwater sound
- How to setup, troubleshoot and repair of towed hydrophone arrays -
introduction and computer lab activities with software
used to detect, localize and classify sounds produced by marine
mammals- acoustic data collection and management.- how to splice an
underwater (hydrophone array) cable.
All participants will receive a set of materials (handbook and electronic
copies of
presentations, software and activities) for future reference.
At the conclusion of this intensive hands-on course, participants will
have gained a
working knowledge of practical aspects of towed hydrophone array system
design,
maintenance and operations.
College credit is available upon successful completion of the course
through UCSD¹s
Extension program.
