Dear list,
We are organizing a graduate summer course in acoustic communication at University of Southern Denmark, August 6-19th, 2022.
The course focuses on methods and techniques for studying animal sound communication in air (infra-, ultra- and sonic ranges), in water, and in solids (vibrations). It includes lectures, practicals,
and excursions with time for discussion and student presentations. Introductory lectures aim at giving an overview of the subject of acoustic communication followed by special lectures on the fundamentals of acoustics, signal analysis, psychoacoustics, animal
sound production, and noise. Practicals aim at giving the students hands-on experience of sound and vibration recording, sound analysis, and playback in air and water with emphasis on methodological limitations and pitfalls. MatLab will be used throughout
the course but prior experience is not required. The applicants will be evaluated through group presentations of practicals.
Location:
The
marine
and
terrestrial
field stations of the Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark. The stations are located in the town of Kerteminde (marine) on the east coast of Funen and in the
south of the island Funen (terrestrial), respectively.
Teachers:
