Have you been walking in the woods and wondered what animals were making all those mysterious sounds?   Well, over at UNH in Dr. Daniel Howard’s laboratory, they are developing the use of audio recording in conjunction with computer analysis to identify the animals behind those sounds.   This cutting-edge technique should help scientists quantify species diversity and help them keep track of changes in diversity caused by, among other things, the effects of climate change. As seasonal weather patterns change, with variations in wind, temperature and precipitation, some species will decline and others will flourish, some will migrate in and others out.  Bioacoustics may prove valuable to follow these rapid changes and ultimately allow more timely responses to them.   Come join Dr. Howard in the field to collect sounds and find out what is out there.

Students should bring a water bottle for the workshop. Please remember to wear boots, long pants, and light-colored clothing, and to use an insect spray such as Deep Woods Off to reduce the risk of a tick bite, as ticks in this area may carry Lyme Disease.  After the workshop, please conduct a tick check on yourself.
