Sound and Light Ecology Team
The Sound and Light Ecology Team is a collaborative noise pollution research effort between the departments of Biology and Fish, Wildlife, & Conservation Biology at Colorado State University and the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division of the National Park Service. The goals of the project are to
Aid parks in better understanding their soundscapes, including the contribution of noise pollution and its impact on wildlife and visitor enjoyment.
Develop an undergraduate research program in the Listening Lab, allowing students to gain experience working in a research lab and conducting their own research projects.
My role with the team is to direct the Listening Lab, which each year consists of 8-12 undergraduate students. I’ve guided numerous students through the completion of honors theses, poster/oral presentations, and peer-reviewed publications. Additionally, I designed, built, and manage our team’s website using html, css, and WordPress.
