Miksis-Olds SeaBASS 2018
Abstract
The goal of the SeaBASS (Marine BioAcoustics Summer School) program is to provide the opportunity for graduate students interested i"n pursuing careers in the field of marine bioacoustics to develop a strong foundation in both marine animal biology and acoustics, f""oster technical communication across disciplines, and develop professional relationships within the field. This course gives student"s an opportunity to learn from experts who will discuss topics not often offered at universities due to the relatively small demand at any one institution. Lecturers within the field of marine animal bioacoustics will provide half day seminars that describe funda"mental aspects of underwater sound and marine animal behavior, summarize the present state of the field, identify current obstacles"" and challenges, and discuss important ""hot topics"" areas. Each seminar will include an introductory lecture followed by group discu"ssions or group projects to gain a more in-depth understanding of the issues. An evening student poster session provides participants the opportunity to obtain feedback on their graduate research from lecturers and peers. Structured social activities allow for students and research scientists to interact informally to develop lasting professional mentorships and contacts for guiding the next generation of marine bioacoustics scientists. SeaBASS 2018 will be modeled after successful SeaBASS programs in 2010-2016 and incorporate feedback from participants to create a stronger program in 2018.
