I'm currently looking for two local volunteers to help with sperm whale acoustic research this summer. Volunteers will listen to recordings and track when different sperm whale sounds are made (including echolocation clicks, codas, clangs, and creaks; see here for an example of the first three). You'll learn to discriminate different sperm whale sounds and will gain experience using an open source acoustic software, Audacity. The data output will contribute to my Ph.D. thesis; see the research tab if you want to learn more about my work!
Listening to sperm whale acoustic files can be monotonous and requires strong attention to detail. I'm looking for volunteers who can reliably commit 5-10 hours per week from now through August. If interested, please email me at [email protected] and tell me a bit more about yourself, any relevant previous experience you have (not required), and your availability this summer. Thanks!
