Soundscape EcologyThe Purdue Center for Global Soundscapes has been recognized by PBS. NOVA, a PBS documentary series focused on science, interviewed Bryan Pijanowski, Professor of Human-Environment Modeling and Analysis Laboratory, and Matt Harris, Graduate Research Assistant, to learn more on the subject and to share this story on the NOVA website in video format. Soundscape ecology is the study of how the environment changes by studying the sounds within that environment. ​

Anyone can be a citizen scientist and download their “sounds of earth” to the soundscape ecology database. There is no cost, and it is easy to do. Just visit the website, Record the Earth, for instructions.

Take a look at the Soundscape Ecology video on NOVA’s website.
