Soundscape Ecology
Soundscape Ecology “Over increasingly large areas of the United States, spring now comes unheralded by the return of the birds, and the early mornings are strangely silent where once they were filled with the beauty of bird song.” Rachel Carson – The Silent Spring 1962 Dr. Bryan Pijanowski Department of Forestry & Natural Resources Overview 1. What is a soundscape? 2. Play example soundscapes (5-8 recordings) 3. Describe how we measure soundscapes 4. Summarize some of our research surrounding Purdue University 5. Describe the role of engineers in research like this 1. WHAT IS A SOUNDSCAPE? Biophony – sounds created by biological Soundscapes organisms, mostly insects, amphibians, birds and mammals. Signals carry information and are thus complex. Geophony – sounds from the movement of wind and water. Driven mostly by climate. Running streams, rain and wind. Anthrophony – sounds by human-made objects such as machines, friction from road noise, bells, sirens. Definitions of Soundscapes • R. Murray Schafer (1994): “the soundscape is any acoustic field of study… We can isolate an acoustic environment as a field of study just as we can study the characteristics of a given landscape. However, it is less easy to formulate an exact impression of a soundscape than of a landscape” (p. 7). • Bernie Krause (1987, 2002): all of the sounds (biophony, geophony and anthrophony) present in an environment at a given time, soundscape as a finite resource-competing for spectral space (acoustic niche hypothesis). What it is not • Bioacoustics: traditionally focused on species specific traits or a single group of organisms – this is a 70 year old field of study • Noise research: examining how noise is created in human-dominated areas 2. -

Received: 16 September 2019; Accepted: 19 September 2019; Published: 21 September 2019 Abstract: The soundscape is defined by the International Standard Organization (ISO) 12913-1 as the human’s perception of the acoustic environment, in context, accompanying physiological and psychological responses. Previous research is synthesized with studies designed to investigate soundscape at the ‘unconscious’ level in an effort to more specifically conceptualize biomarkers of the soundscape. This review aims firstly, to investigate the consistency of methodologies applied for the investigation of physiological aspects of soundscape; secondly, to underline the feasibility of physiological markers as biomarkers of soundscape; and finally, to explore the association between the physiological responses and the well-founded psychological components of the soundscape which are continually advancing.

Passive Acoustics for Monitoring Marine Animals - Progress and Challenges
Proceedings of ACOUSTICS 2006 20-22 November 2006, Christchurch, New Zealand Passive acoustics for monitoring marine animals - progress and challenges Douglas Cato (1), Robert McCauley (2), Tracey Rogers (3) and Michael Noad (4) (1) Defence Science and Technology Organisation and University of Sydney Institute of Marine Science, Sydney, Australia (2) Centre for Marine Science and Technology, Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia (3) Australian Marine Mammal Research Centre, Zoological Parks Board of NSW and University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia (4) School of Veterinary Science, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia ABSTRACT Pioneering recordings of underwater sounds off New Zealand showed a wide range of high level sounds from marine animals, particularly whales [Kibblewhite et al, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 41, 644-655, 1967]. Almost 40 years later, a much greater amount of data is available on marine animal sounds and there is now considerable interest in using the sounds to monitor the animals for studies of abundance, migrations and behaviour. Passive acoustic monitoring shows much promise because the animal vocalisations are usually detectable over long distances, allowing a large area to be surveyed. Marine mammals are detectable acoustically at much greater distances than they are visible and passive acoustics has the potential to fill in the gaps in open ocean surveying. There are however challenges, and this paper discusses progress and the steps needed to develop robust methods of surveying the abundance and migrations of marine animals, illustrated by studies in our region. Effective use of passive monitoring requires an understanding of the acoustic behaviour of the animals, a knowledge of the acoustic propagation and ambient noise at the time of the survey and a rigorous statistical analysis. -

An Educational Guide to :Nature's Orchestra
An Educational Guide to: Generously supported by: Sounds in Nature Sound is a dynamic and ever-present component of all 1 landscapes . The sounds found in natural ecosystems have been linked to the health and environmental quality of those ecosystems since the publication of Rachel Carson’s 1 pioneering work Silent Spring in 1962 . What is a Soundscape? A “soundscape” is made up of all the sounds found 2 "Every soundscape we hear in a in a particular environment . wild habitat generates its own Those sounds are divided into three major 1 unique signature" - Bernie Krause categories : Biophany - sounds made by living things Check Out: Geophany - nonbiological sounds made by things like wind, rain and thunder The Center for Global Soundscapes www.centerforglobalsoundscapes.org Anthrophony - sounds caused by humans What is Soundscape Ecology? Soundscape ecology can be described as the combination of all sounds (including the biophany, geophany and anthropony) made within a specified landscape that together create sound patterns 1 unique to the time and place . What Can We Learn From Soundscape Ecology? 3 The structure of a landscape, is intricately connected to the soundscape it produces . That soundscape can help indicate not only the types of species present and their population sizes, but can also illustrate the impacts of human-produced sounds on the ecosystem3 . The monitoring of a specific soundscape over time can indicate ecosystem changes such as biodiversity loss, the introduction of new and invasive species, as well as changes in animal behaviours3 .

Marine Plants in Coral Reef Ecosystems of Southeast Asia by E

A. Titlyanov, T. V. Titlyanova & M. Tokeshi Zhirmunsky Institute of Marine Biology Corel Reef Ecosystems- The coral reef ecosystem is a collection of diverse species that interact with each other and with the physical environment. The latitudinal distribution of coral reef ecosystems in the oceans (geographical distribution) is determined by the seawater temperature, which influences the reproduction and growth of hermatypic corals − the main component of the ecosystem. As so, coral reefs only occupy the tropical and subtropical zones. The vertical distribution (into depth) is limited by light. Sun light is the main energy source for this ecosystem, which is produced through photosynthesis of symbiotic microalgae − zooxanthellae living in corals, macroalgae, seagrasses and phytoplankton.

TEACHER RESOURCE CSIRO_Oceans-12jm.indd 1 2/12/17 9:57 am TEACHER RESOURCE CSIRO_Oceans-12jm.indd 1 2/12/17 9:57 am CSIRO_Oceans-12jm.indd 2 2/12/17 9:57 am ABOUT Introduction to the guide This Student Learning Resource is designed to assist secondary school teachers to engage students in Years 7 to 10 in the study of marine environment and the direct influence oceans have on weather, climate and marine ecosystems. It is supported by the use of the CSIRO text Oceans: Science and Solutions for Australia, edited by Bruce Mapstone, and links to the Australian Curriculum with a flexible matrix of activities based on the ‘Five Es’ model. The resource explores elements of Years 7 to 10 science and geography curricula, covering the cross-curriculum priorities of Sustainability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures. For science, it more specifically covers the areas of: Science Understanding; Science as a Human Endeavour, and Science Inquiry Skills. For geography, it covers the area of geographical knowledge and understanding, and geographical inquiry and skills. The main concepts covered are: • The seven main challenges we face when managing our marine estate. • Aspects of our marine estate, such as currents, marine organisms, geology, climate, recreation, the economy and governance. • Uses of the ocean, such as coastal development, security, search and rescue, pollution, research tools and technology, managing multiple uses of the oceans. • The future of science and technology. How to use the guide The notes in this study guide offer both variety and flexibility of use for the differentiated classroom.
