Excited to have a new paper was published today, many years in the making. the short version is that snapping shrimp, the noisiest animals in the sea, are even more noisy under warming temperatures @WHOI @soundoceanscience

“The future is ancestral” says Brazilian conservationist João Campos-Silva. traditional lifestyles are in tune with nature, we must learn to be in balance with that which sustains us. #natgeofest #natgeoexplorers.

Great info and photos (by my pal Paul Caiger) of the crazy cool twilight zone marine animals being revealed by recent @WHOI research!.
The U.S. Navy once thought it was the ocean's bottom. What their acoustics were detecting was actually an enormous mass of living sea creatures. Welcome to the ocean's twilight zone.

We released this cool new drifting acoustic recorder near St. Thomas yesterday. you can check out the real-time monitoring as it moves in the Caribbean - hopefully it encounters some sound-producing fish spawning aggregations along its path!.

So glad to be part of this unique mind-expanding project @NYTmag ! Listening to this collection of soundscape stories, including the at-times hilarious secret language of rats, was enlightening! Great work all!.
well, I've been making ultrasonic recordings of rat communication in NYC for a couple of years now, but I couldnt be happier to contribute to this special audio issue of nytmag! produced by @karaoehler shoutout to @rattus_mattus #fieldrecording #soundart #rats the laughs are real.
