Foundations in Bat Acoustics: Field and Lab Experience

Gain a complete introduction to the science of bat acoustics through this multi-part training series designed for students, and early-career researchers seeking experience in survey design and implementation. Participants will explore the full process of acoustic monitoring, from learning core concepts in a virtual classroom to conducting hands-on fieldwork and analyzing real recordings in the lab. Each participant will receive an EchoMeter Touch ultrasonic microphone as a part of the workshop fee to continue monitoring in the field!

By the end of the program, attendees will understand how to design, deploy, and interpret acoustic surveys that contribute to bat conservation and research efforts. Seats are limited!

This workshop will take place May 14-16, 2026 from 6 pm ET - 9 pm ET each evening.
