Subject: [AUDITORY] Course on Marine Animal Bioacoustics From: "Joseph A. Sisneros" <sisneros@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2020 21:19:21 -0800 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--00000000000069283d059d549b43 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This summer a course on Marine Animal Bioacoustics will be offered at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories from June 15-July 17, 2020. The course instructor are Joseph Sisneros (University of Washington), Timothy Tricas (Univ Hawaii) and Lane Seeley (Seattle Pacific Univ). Marine Animal Bioacoustics is a five-week course designed to provide graduate and advanced undergraduate students with a broad understanding of the acoustic tools and techniques necessary for investigating the bioacoustics (sound production and reception), communication and behavior of marine animals, especially with the marine mammals and fishes found locally in the waters of the San Juan islands, WA. Students will investigate the acoustic world of marine animals in relation to their biology of sound production and hearing, natural behavior, and ecology. =E2=80=A2We will use a =E2=80=98hands-on=E2=80=99 approach in the lab to l= earn about the construction of simple acoustic transducers and digital recording of marine sounds. Each student (with the help of the instructors) will build their own hydrophone for use in student projects and exercises. =E2=80=A2Students will be introduced to both foundational and contemporar= y theories of underwater acoustics (including the theory and application of pressure and particle motion in acoustical waves, and Fourier Analysis). They will become familiar with modern techniques in bioacoustic recordings and analysis that include tank-based and field-based acoustical measurements. =E2=80=A2Students will learn basic auditory physiology techniques used in = hearing studies, such as auditory evoked potential recordings. They will also learn to use LabView software for the fully automated production, recording and analysis of acoustical signals. =E2=80=A2A significant portion of the course will involve independent rese= arch projects where students apply the scientific method to address problems in marine animal bioacoustic behavior.
