I am an interdisciplinary researcher investigating how technology can be used to monitor biodiversity, in particular using bioacoustic and ecoacoustic approaches.

Some thoughts on:
The sensor network will consist of round 25 devices measuring acoustic activity and the environment.
Sensor network philosophy - how we thought about the deisgn of a sensor network.
Sensor network install - documenting the installation of the sensor network.
There is a long history of visual observations of species, these are currently collected through a mix of transects and ad-hoc recording.
Anybody can contribute to ad-hic recording using iNaturalist or iRecord.
More-than-human appraoches to biodiversity research are looking at how we can make urban areas more habitable for all species.
