We are pleased to announce this year's Marine Bioacoustics Summer School
program (SeaBASS 2018). The application period will be closing on Feb 28,
2018.
SeaBASS provides the opportunity for currently enrolled 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. The topics covered in the
course include:
Introduction to Underwater Sound, Sound Propagation, Marine Mammal
Biology & Behavior, Fisheries Acoustics/Fish Behavior, Hearing, Effects
of Noise, Echolocation, Passive Acoustic Monitoring & Signal processing,
and Acoustic Density Estimation.
WHEN: July 8 13, 2018
WHERE: University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH
COSTS: The costs of student attendance (room and board, based
on double occupancy for students) will be funded from sponsor support.
There is no registration fee. Full-time participation of all participants
