The next introductory Sound Analysis Workshop offered by the Cornell Bioacoustics Research Program (BRP) will take place 23 – 27 September 2019, at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, in Ithaca, NY, USA. The workshop is intended primarily for biologists interested in analysis, visualization, and measurement of animal sounds. We cover basic principles of spectrographic analysis and measurement of animal sounds, as well as specific tools and techniques in Raven Pro, a sound analysis application program developed by BRP. More information about the workshop, including fees and registration information is available here. Prospective participants from selected countries are eligible to apply for two scholarship positions in the September workshop. Further details about the scholarship program, including eligible countries and how to apply are available here. Scholarship applications must be submitted online no later than 24 June. -

The station, located at 6,000 feet elevation amid Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir forest, affords a wide range of recording opportunities and challenges in spectacular surroundings. The Sound Recording Workshop will be held 11–18 June; the Sound Analysis Workshop will be held 18–21 June. Participants can sign up for either workshop separately or both together. SOUND RECORDING OVERVIEW Learn state-of-the-art techniques for recording and analyzing the sounds of wildlife with experts from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library. The week-long workshop, designed to take you from novice to capable field recordist, covers the selection and application of audio recorders and microphones, recording theory, metering, field recording techniques, and documentation for sound recordings. Each day is comprised of several hours of field recording in the morning and lectures/discussions in the afternoon. The recording course includes an introduction to visualizing sounds and making basic measurements with Raven Pro software. Your instructors will be Greg Budney, of the Macaulay Library, Bill McQuay of the Lab's Multimedia Program, Randolph Little, a Laboratory Associate with extensive recording experience, and Ashik Rahaman of the Lab’s Bioacoustics Research Program. SOUND ANALYSIS OVERVIEW The Sound Analysis Workshop will delve deeper into topics such as the conceptual foundations of spectrogram analysis (no math required!), optimizing spectrogram parameters, robust measurements, automated signal detection, quantitative comparison of spectrograms, and advanced tips and tricks to make working with Raven Pro easier and more efficient. Sessions will include lectures, demos, and hands-on exercises using the participants’ own recordings. Your instructors will be Russ Charif and Ashik Rahaman, both of the Cornell Bioacoustics Research Program. SOUND RECORDING ENROLLMENT INFORMATION The workshop fee is $1195 (includes tuition, class materials, a 1-year student license for Raven Pro (renewable as long as you are a student), ground transportation from/to Reno airport, food, and lodging). Enrollment is primarily based on a first-come first-served basis, with first consideration to students and researchers. Enrollment is limited to 20 participants. SOUND ANALYSIS ENROLLMENT INFORMATION The standard workshop fee of $600 includes tuition, a 1-year student license for Raven Pro (renewable as long as you are a student), class materials, ground transportation from and to the Reno airport, food, and lodging. A limited number of spaces are available to participants from developing countries for a reduced fee of $300. Enrollment is limited to 20 participants. TO ENROLL PLEASE CONTACT: Kelly Lee Smith <kls66@cornell.edu> or telephone, 607-254-6323 A $100 deposit is required upon initial registration to reserve your place at each workshop.

The Bioacoustics Research Program and the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology are considering offerring a 2-day sound analysis workshop, focusing on analysis of animal sounds using Raven Pro sound analysis software (http://www.birds.cornell.edu/brp/raven/ravenoverview.html). The workshop would occur on 14-15 June 2014, at the Sierra Nevada Field Campus of San Francisco State University ( http://www.sfsu.edu/~sierra/index.html). Workshop topics would include the conceptual foundations of spectrogram analysis (no math required!), robust measurements, automated signal detection, quantitative comparison of spectrograms, and advanced tips and tricks to make working with Raven easier and more efficient. Sessions would include lectures, demos, and hands-on exercises using the participants’ own recordings. Specific details of the content would depend on interests of the participants. Participants would be expected to provide their own Windows or Mac laptop. Enrollment preference for this analysis workshop will be given to people who have already registered for the Macaulay Library's Sound Recording Workshop (http://macaulaylibrary.org/field-recording). However, a few slots may be available on a first-come, first-served basis for additional participants not enrolled in the recording workshop. If you may be interested in this workshop, please indicate your level of interest and provide contact info by following this link: https://cornell.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6nZMZs14RP1Efu5 Please respond by noon Pacific time (UCT+8) on 23 April. (If you are registered for the recording workshop and already responded to a similar query, please do NOT respond again.) The final decision as to whether the workshop will be held will be made on Thursday 24 April, and will depend on the number of responses we receive; we will contact all who indicate interest no later than 25 April to let you know whether or not the workshop will occur. Schedule: Lectures, demos, and hands-on work would occur on Saturday and Sunday, 14-15 June. Participants should plan on arriving at the field campus the evening of Friday, 13 June, and departing on the morning of Monday, 16 June. Cost: Cost of the workshop would be $368, which includes lodging for three nights (10 x 16-foot tents, may be double occupancy; see the field campus website for details) and meals for 2 days. Questions? Contact Russ Charif, r.charif@cornell.edu.
