We are very happy to share our newest video on passive accoustic density estimation, this time focussing on detectability. Show your kids, give us feedback. The star is a biologist named Danielle: youtube.com/watch?v=ITKlA7… video by Maria Zacarias perhaps inspired by Danielle Harris

This was the "team" at #ECS2023 European Cetacean Society this year, with left-2-right Camilla Aiuti, Nuno Fialho, a poster 😀, me and Diana Vieira. Carolina Marques is missing in the pic but also has a poster on narwhal tag sound data denoising related to the ACCURATE

Great to see the LMR-funded ACCURATE (on obtaining cetacean acoustic cue rates to improve density estimation) getting discussed at the European Cetacean Society conference. Congrats Tiago André Marques & team! CREEM_cake Scripps Institution of Oceanography @NTNUnorway SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) Syracuse University NOAA

In under two weeks we had 2 talks on ACCURATE, 1 at SOI University of St Andrews and 1 European Cetacean Society #ECSconference2023 Great to have discussions about cue rates, what drives them, how to estimate them and when and how migh cue rates be used to inform PAM density estimation.

On the aftermath of European Cetacean Society conference we have 200+ followers 🥳Help us spread the word! If you have relevant info about marine mammal cue rates tag us. Follow to learn more about why cue rates are fundamental. Here's our 2022 video on their importance youtube.com/watch?v=iOX2Y1…

Procrastination aler... Shiny app dev by @morinryan to build a wordcloud from your google scholar. Works pretty well 😇 shiny.rcg.sfu.ca/u/rdmorin/scho… 🙏 ☁️ Pierre Bataille

This weekend the ACCURATE  project was represented at the Explorathon 2023 at the DundeeScienceCentre Communicating our science to the wider public is something we quite enjoy doing ! Thanks to Popi Gkikopoulou for carrying the flag!

Delighted to be part of this years' European Research Showcase - the 48 hour research extravaganza! We shared information about CREEM_cake research including ACCURATE You can "replay" all the action by using hashtag #ERSIntersections and following The Global Science Show

The ACCURATE just presented yesterday at the LMR IPR meeting the latest developments regarding cue rates to inform passive acoustic monitoring density estimation. Next year it will be our final year and so we will be working extra hard this year to come in strong!

Might have found my new profile pic with Colleen Reichmuth and Alyssa Accomando (Alex Shorter holding the DTAG), at the LMR IPR meeting in Santa Barbara. Don't do to animals what you wouldn't do to yourself, they say!

Today I delivered a talk about PAM DE with ACCURATE on the background at the BiouacousTalks from Cornell University Thanks for inviting me to do so Ben Gottesman et al. I was stoked to have Chris Clark thanking me for the work we do. Still can't believe that happened😀🥳 #LevelUnlocked !

New #scicomm video on PAM DE. After the DE process itself, cue rates and detectability, this is about the 4th multiplier, false positives. Another great production led by Maria Zacarias under the auspices of LMR. Please watch and share. Feedback welcome! youtube.com/watch?v=iMgls1…

Our latest paper reports on narwhal cue production rates from acoustic animal borne tags. Based on a small number of tags from Greenland, care to extrapolate is needed, but this opens the door to PAM density estimation for these elusive creatures doi.org/10.1121/10.002…

Our new paper led by Yvonne Barkley and our NOAA partners is out, looking into sperm whale sound production in Hawaiian waters. Used towed array data, hard to use to estimate cue rates, but very interesting for an area where there are no tagged animals doi.org/10.1121/10.002…

Thanks Popi Gkikopoulou for spreeding the word, and doing it... "accurately" 🤣

Recent work led by Julia Zeh & @ProfParksSU on the caller-ID problem (who's doing a sound recorded on a tag) in humpbacks doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2… The caller-ID problem was the focus of the 1 of ACCURATE tasks. Later this year we hope to have additional news about it!

Several members from the ACCURATE project team are this week in Rotterdam for the DCLDE conference. Reliable cue production rates remain one of the major hurdles for density/abundance estimation from passive acoustic monitoring data. dclde2024.com

Today at the DCLDE we had our first, last and only in person meeting for the ACCURATE It has been a pleasure to work with a bunch of colleagues and friends on learning more about what we know and what we don't know about acoustic cue production rates in marine mammals
