The science of sound, ecosystem, and living landscapes — from quantum biophysics to landscape monitoring. Eleven modules and four interactive Pyodide labs, organised into a single graduate- level path through the discipline.
Schafer, Krause, Pijanowski, Farina. The acoustic niche hypothesis and the foundational pillars of the discipline.
Biophony, geophony, anthrophony — the three source classes that decompose every acoustic environment.
Earth's most magnificent recurring acoustic event — and the largest natural test bed for niche theory.
Propagation, attenuation, refraction, and the dawn-chorus duct that amplifies active space by 20×.
ACI, BI, NDSI, H, ADI, AEI — the numerical summaries that compress hours of audio into a single comparable score.
AudioMoth, SongMeter, BirdNET, occupancy models — the end-to-end pipeline for landscape-scale biodiversity sensing.
How anthrophony masks biological signals, alters species behaviour, and reshapes whole community structure.
Underwater soundscapes — from snapping shrimp at kHz to whale calls at sub-bass — and the shipping noise threatening them.
How city soundscapes filter, shape, and stress the species living in them — and what acoustic management can achieve.
Multi-decade acoustic archives as climate sensors — and the predator-prey mismatch risks revealed by shifting dawn-chorus dates.
Spectral analysis, information theory, and optimal transport (Wasserstein W₂) applied to acoustic data.
Four interactive labs running entirely in your browser via Pyodide — ACI, dawn duct, niche overlap, optimal-transport restoration.
