Links with Good Sounds and Information on Underwater Acoustics

The Centro Interdisciplinaire de Bioacustica e Richerche Ambientali (Interdisciplinary Center for Bioacoustics and Environmental Research: CIBRA), at the University of Pavia, Italy. Their Laboratory of Marine Bioacustics conducts research on the acoustic communication in animals.

NOAA's Whale Acoustic Project: a good introduction to the physics of underwater acoustics plus sound clips of many cetaceans, including blue, fin, minke and humpback whales.

The Blog was initiated as part of the inaugural "Sustainability Across the Curriculum" workshop, held at SMU on May 12, 2010. This is part of the Teacher Scholar programme for 2010-2011. If you have any posts, curriculum, ideas or inspired content that you would like to include, please send it to Dr. Cathy Conrad, the 2010-2011 Teaching Scholar, Associate Professor of the Department of Geography. I look forward to moderating this site and linking useful and relevant information. I hope you find it useful!
