Course Description: FHL 585. Marine Animal Bioacoustics is a five-week course designed to provide graduate and advanced undergraduate students with a broad understanding of the acoustic tools and techniques necessary for investigating the bioacoustics (sound production and reception), communication and behavior of marine animals, especially with the marine mammals and fishes found locally in the waters of the San Juan islands, WA. The course will involve a combination of lectures and discussions, extensive hands-on laboratory training, lab exercises and student-led projects, and one-on-one interactions with course faculty from diverse research perspectives of biology (Dr. Timothy Tricas), psychology (Dr. Joseph Sisneros) and physics (Dr. Lane Seeley).
