Dear colleagues:

Please bring the following course announcement to the attention of all potentially interested students. Participants will be primarily graduate students and postdocs although we will consider applications from highly qualified, advanced undergraduates as well. The course is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and Friday Harbor Laboratories; therefore, significant financial aid is available. Enrollment is capped at 12 students. Thank you.

Cheers,
Chuck Greene


MARINE BIOACOUSTICS

Session B July 16 - August 18, 2007

5 weeks: M-F 8-5; S 8-12

Ocean 578 (9 credits)

Dr. Chuck Greene and Dr. John Horne
The primary goal of this course is to provide advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral investigators with a broad understanding of the acoustic tools and techniques used to study fundamental questions about the behavior and ecology of cetaceans, fishes and zooplankton. By bringing together many of the top research scientists and students in marine bioacoustics and bioacoustical oceanography, new cross-disciplinary interactions will be encouraged. Students will be exposed to the latest methods in underwater acoustics as they pertain to studying pelagic animal behavior and ecology 'in situ.' Student also will have a unique opportunity to work with leading scientists using state-of-the-art tools and techniques. Previous versions of this course have been offered with generous support from the Office of Naval Research since 1993. This summer's course will have a new, week-long component focusing on acoustic tracking of tagged animals.

Enrollment limited to 12 students.
