Sierra Nevada avian diversity
In partnership with Dr. Zach Peery at UW-Madison and the U.S. Forest Service, we conduct acoustic surveys across the entire Sierra Nevada. The project encompasses over 18,000 km2, generates 1,000,000 hours of audio annually, and yields data on over 100 species of bird.
Wolf monitoring
As wolf populations recover in the western U.S. and elsewhere, the potential for conservation conflicts grows. We are using traditional passive acoustic surveys and real-time acoustic monitoring to study the spatiotemporal dynamics and demography of wolves, with the aim of improving the quality and efficiency of wolf management.
