Introduction to Open Ecoacoustics in 30 Minutes

About the Event

Kick off the day with a focused introduction to Open Ecoacoustics. In just 30 minutes, the team will walk you through the essentials: how to upload and organise recordings, run recognisers, and access results for research and decision-making. Perfect for newcomers or anyone curious about what’s possible with ecoacoustics at scale.

About Open Ecoacoustics

Australia’s biodiversity crisis necessitates urgent action to deliver continental-scale monitoring and management of threatened species and ecosystems. The Ecosounds platform aids ecoacoustics monitoring of these environments.

The project’s vision is to enable open science and conservation through the development and promotion of open access ecoacoustics technologies, methodologies and standards.

The Open Ecoacoustics project provides the dedicated Ecosounds platform to allow anyone to store, process and share passive acoustic sound recordings with downstream services. The project is supported by the ARDC and supports FAIR data by developing standardised metadata and third-party analyses by moving to flexible workflow technologies. Open Ecoacoustics accelerates data analysis by publishing a shared repository of annotated datasets and recognisers. The project interfaces to other systems, including TERN, ALA, EcoCommons and citizen science sites, through services and shared tools.
