BioacousTalks

BioacousTalks is your bi-weekly gathering to learn about advances in passive acoustic monitoring and connect with a global community of practitioners. In these sessions, invited speakers present new acoustic methods and analysis tools, share noteworthy case studies, and lead discussions about unresolved topics in our field. This talk series is hosted by K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and is open to all who are interested in participating. Bioacoustics is better when done together. Hope you can join us.

When and where

We meet every two weeks over Zoom, usually at 11 AM (ET, UTC-4). We eagerly welcome new participants, especially those from different countries, in order to foster an open and connected PAM community and benefit from a diversity of experiences and perspectives.
