![]() The Revelator spoke to Gottesman about which animals bioacoustics can help us study, how researchers sort through millions of hours of recordings, and why new technologies aren’t just for experts. That’s helped researchers from the Yang Center and other institutions better understand everything from right whales in the North Atlantic to tiny katydids in the canopies of tropical forests. It’s become a potent tool for research and conservation as recording devices have improved and gotten cheaper - and as machine learning can crunch massive amounts of data. ![]() The work is part of the growing field of bioacoustics, which combines biology and acoustics to gain insight into the world around us by listening. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at the Cornell Lab, was part of a team of researchers from Purdue University’s Center for Global Soundscapes and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that monitored changes in the soundscape on land and in the water to better understand how birds, bugs, shrimp, fish and other animals responded to the disturbance. But what did the aftermath sound like?īen Gottesman, now a member of the K. ![]() After Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico in 2017, photos showed downed trees, flooded communities, collapsed homes and buckled roads. ![]()
