This project will support NOAA research on underwater soundscapes and sound sources by assisting with data analysis, organization, and visualizations. The student(s) will work alongside NOAA researchers to collate information about marine protected areas and species of interest, including a variety of software tools and research methods. The project will involve organizing information and research results into communications products that support national NOAA initiatives to showcase on-going passive acoustic research efforts. During the internship, students will have opportunities for mentoring on graduate school applications and careers in marine science.
