Acoustic Monitoring 101 For Students

Join the Gotham Bat Conservancy for Acoustic Monitoring 101 for Students , a virtual, theory-based introduction to the science and practice of wildlife acoustics. This 90-minute session is designed for students, volunteers, and early-career researchers who want to understand the fundamentals before heading into the field.

Participants will learn the concepts behind acoustic monitoring, including how detectors function, how sound is used to study wildlife, and how recorded calls are interpreted to assess species activity and behavior. This workshop provides a strong conceptual foundation for those interested in advancing to field-based training such as Foundations in Bat Acoustics: Field and Lab Experience.
