Really delighted for our paper on spatial acoustics to have been shortlisted for the Robert May Prize!! Links below to the paper and a blog post chatting about it 🌴.
As a shortlisted author for our 2024 Robert May prize, we asked @Becky_Heath some questions on her research on Acoustic Localisation Systems and journey in ecology 🌎🧪 Read the full blog here 👇 .

Had a blast at iCOPE🌴 Was an honour to give two talks at the conference - on oil palm riparian area restoration (RERTA project), and the use of acoustics to monitor biodiversity. Pretty happy to walk away from the lucky draw with a new speaker too😁 #icope #icope2025

We're still looking for cool new uses of MAARU and other spatial acoustics equipment, so please do get in contact if this is of interest! More information at the website, here: #bioacostics #ecoacoustics #ALS #biodiversity #monitoring.

We then demonstrate a two successful use-cases for multichannel recording equipment, like MAARU: sound source localisation (for tracking behaviour and counting individuals), and beamforming (for increased SNR and increasing the confidence of ML species classifiers)

In the paper, we highlight the need for low-cost, and public domain multichannel recording equipment. Then explaining how this was achieved with MAARU using a Raspberry Pi and other off-the-shelf components
