Workshop on Aquatic Soundscape

Asia/Manila
University of Philippines Cebu

University of Philippines Cebu

Description
Marine soundscape is a collection of environmental sound, biological sound, and anthropogenic noise. Recent studies show that the dynamics of marine ecosystem can be investigated by monitoring the change of marine soundscape. Asian Soundscape is the first open data platform of soundscape in Southeast Asia. A training workshop of aquatic soundscape will be hold during May 14-16, 2018 under the support of Asi@Connect Project and University of Philippine Cebu. In this training workshop, marine ecological researchers from Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Philippine will be invited to discuss the future collaboration of coral reef soundscape monitoring. Besides, this workshop will promote the open data of marine soundscape and encourage the interdisciplinary collaboration between ecological and information science.
