      <image:title>Home - Processing large amounts of acoustic data quickly</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are are a number of identifiable acoustic signatures in this image. Traffic, Pacific Chorus Frog chorus, songbird dawn chorus, Ruffed Grouse, Sooty Grouse, rain. Learn how to use these images to process large volumes of acoustic data and interpreting these images by clicking on the image itself. We are currently using these Long Duration False Colour Spectrograms as part of our Rapid Visual Scanning technique to study Species At Risk and nocturnal owls in coastal BC.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ARU Methods - A basic recording schedule for you!</image:title>
      <image:caption>~ Each species on the right has experienced wide-spread and dramatic declines in British Columbia in recent history. If you want to learn more about the status of any of these, you can click on the image on the right. In order to study acoustically active species at risk, we propose a set of recording standards that can be used to study many birds, terrestrial mammals, amphibians and insects. The settings are as follows… Record for 3 minutes of every 15 minute period (3 on, 12 off) from 1.5 hours before sunset until 1.5 hours after sunrise. Set your sampling rate to anywhere between 24 and 41 KHz</image:caption>
