Hej,
I’m Fabienne and I am a PhD candidate at @bioacousticsau.bsky.social 🌊🎧
I try to better understand (human-made) sound 🚢 in the ocean and how it shapes the acoustic world of #marinemammals 🐬 🐳🦭.
Enjoy the #soundscape - and lots of computational analysis 👩🏻‍💻. It’s going to be glorious ✨😜

It's live! Please see my new paper in Ecological Informatics on the #detection and #categorization of frequency notched echolocation from wild recordings. 🐬🔊👇

🦇🌙⛏ IT'S SPOOKY SEASON 🎃💀🕷

When you study #bioacoustics and #bats, there is always an appropriate Halloween outing!

This year, we went to the Mønsted limestone mine, a 60-km-long man-made cave system and THE place to be for winter hibernation (9000 bats surely can't be wrong!).

Intense AND successful 💪. Now keep your finger's crossed with @leayero.bsky.social and me for a successful recovery of the data later in September!
Intense days for our PhD student @hejfabienne.bsky.social. In a joint effort @au.dk ,#ntnu PhD student @leayero.bsky.social & #UiB, have deployed 8 geophones + 2 soundtrap hydrophones along a #DAS enabled #fibercable in #Svalbard to compare #shipnoise measurements in an Arctic fjord 🚢🔊🐋 #seasounds

Successful day out in Aarhus Bay 🇩🇰⛴️ for our PhDs @cmarcolin.bsky.social @hejfabienne.bsky.social & MSc Matthias
⬇️deployed 8 hydrophone 🎧 stations with @innovasea.com releases and
⬆️recovered 2 after 9 months!

Still can’t believe I get to do my PhD 🐬⛴️🎧 with all these smart and joyful mammals 🥰
Welcome to the Marine Mammal Section at Aarhus University! 🐋 (@au.dk) Here, we will share weekly updates on our research, discoveries and fieldwork, along with insights from our team of wildlife researchers🐬🐻‍❄️🦭. If you are interested in what we do, stay tuned. We have a lot to share.. ✨

Incredible and super important work.🐬
There's so much to learn about how #marinemammals are impacted by 🚤🔊 #shippingnoise. And we just got closer to understanding masking effects in frequencies way above the "normal low-frequency" ranges.
🔊 Paper alert! 🐬🎧
Noise of high-speed vessels 🚤 impairs the #biosonar ability of #harbourporpoises 🐬 - making it more difficult for them to
🤯 sense surroundings,
🧭 navigate and
🐟 hunt prey
within several hundred meters.
🥳Huge contribution to understanding masking effects!

POV: Mia & Jakob successfully recovered an 🔊 acoustic array at a #WindFarm in the #NorthSea 🌊 - part of our #AcousticMonitoring work for #Energinet.
With the gear safely back, we can now look (& listen🎧🖥️) for #porpoise 🐬 vocalisations to learn more about how they move around the wind turbines.

Incredibly happy to be part of this unique crew 🐬🦇🚢🎧🔊!
Hej,
🔊🐋🦇we are the group behind Prof. Peter T. Madsen at the #Bioacoustics Lab @au.dk .

We eavesdrop 🎧🤫 on oceans 🌊 and night skies 🌙 - turning sound into science to understand & protect #marinemammals 🐬🦭 and #bats 🦇 🧛🏻‍♀️.

Join us for insights from the secret lives of #bioacousticians.

Such a cool example - and excellent work - of applying acoustics to study Marine mammal populations!
🐋 around Antarctica can be distinguished by population specific acoustic signals 🎧!
New #AWI study shows: Fin whales in the Southern Ocean in #Antarctica have specific acoustic signatures per population. Based on these acoustic markers, researchers were able to identify five different fin whale populations in the Southern Ocean. 🌍🐋
