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 πŸš’πŸ”ŠπŸ‹ #seasounds

Successful day out in Aarhus Bay πŸ‡©πŸ‡°β›΄οΈ 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!
There #bioacoustics PhD project investigates #shippingnoise and impacts on porpoises 🐬.

πŸ”Š 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.
πŸ₯³Huge contribution to understanding masking effects!

πŸŒŠπŸ”Š Hi Bluesky! I’m Julie, a master’s student at @bioacousticsau.bsky.social, studying underwater noise, soundscapes, and narwhal behavior in Northwest Greenland.
I’ve worked on bycatch mitigation and behavior in harbour porpoises, and humpback whale photo-ID in Greenland. πŸ³β„οΈ #bioacoustics #arctic

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT 🐬🎧- (when conducting #acousticmonitoring at #windfarms, e.g. for #Energinet in the #NorthSea)
- The equipment is deployed βš“πŸŽ™οΈ,
- then, stays out at sea for monthsπŸŒŠπŸ“†,
- then, we recover it using acoustic releases βš“βœ¨,
- and analyse it back home πŸ–₯οΈπŸ”Š.

POV: Mia & Jakob successfully recovered an πŸ”Š 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🎧πŸ–₯️) for #porpoise 🐬 vocalisations to learn more about how they move around the wind turbines.
