2nd Announcement
September 2009, 10 - 12 :
4th International Workshop on Detection,
Classification and Localization of Marine Mammals using Passive Acoustics
The purpose of the workshop is to present current
research on the detection, classification and
localization of marine mammals using passive
acoustics. Researchers are invited to present
their scientific work, to detail the advantages
and drawbacks of the methods they use, and to
show their recent results. The workshop
encourages an interdisciplinary approach oriented
at solving real-world problems related to the
study of marine mammals and the effect of
anthropogenic sound on their behavior.
Topics extend beyond passive acoustics to other
relevant areas of research that directly relate
with the main topic. To encourage researchers to
focus on a common topic and to directly evaluate
and compare different approaches and solutions, a
common sound dataset is available online. Visit
the Workshops' web page to get the link.
September 2009, 13 : Linked Workshop:
1st International Workshop on Density Estimation
of Marine Mammals Using Passive Acoustics
This one-day workshop will bring together
researchers working on estimating absolute
density or abundance of marine mammal populations
using passive acoustics. Both towed and fixed
platforms are included. The workshop will
commence immediately after the DCL workshop. The
workshop will begin with a tutorial overview of
the area, followed by contributed oral and poster
presentations showcasing relevant research. Time
will be set aside for open
discussion. Scientists with relevant research in
this area are invited to submit their results for
presentation in oral or poster form.
Having these workshops organized together is
particularly topical given the emerging interest
and need for processing acoustic monitoring data
into meaningful population statistics to be used
for science, management and conservation.
