Advancements in passive acoustic monitoring: A framework for automated tracking of marine mammals

Watanabe 112 2505 Correa Rd, Honolulu

Dr. Pina Gruden Acoustics Researcher Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research and Department of Ocean Resources Engineering University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Location Information **This seminar will be held both in person (Watanabe Hall 112) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 961 6222 2366 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96162222366 Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is an efficient tool for studying acoustically active sources such as marine mammals. Using a variety of sensors and array configurations, PAM can provide insights into species identity, movements, behaviors and abundance of populations, and is thus an invaluable tool for assessing and monitoring populations.
