Dr. Connor Wood – From Spotted Owls to cell phones: the future of acoustic monitoring
October 14, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Low-cost audio recording hardware and high-performance sound analysis software have opened up new frontiers in bird conservation. Dr. Connor Wood of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics traces his own involvement in the field of bioacoustics from the development of a new paradigm in Spotted Owl population monitoring and its evolution towards a program capable of monitoring the entire bird community across tens of thousands of square miles. The same technology that makes this research possible is also freely accessible to the public: Dr. Wood will then share research that he and his colleagues are conducting using the BirdNET app, and will outline the ways it can transform bird conservation – and how you can help!
