Training and Workshops

Need training in bat capture,
acoustic techniques, or acoustic analysis?
|
Working with bats is a specialized field. As the demand increases for environmental assessments to include bat survey and monitoring, you or your company may find the need to acquire training for your staff in working with bats and the associated technologies and equipment.
Cori Lausen has teamed up with Kim Livengood to offer North American Anabat workshops for Titley Electronics.
For bookings, inquiries, or suggested workshop locations, please contact either Cori at
info@batsrus.ca or Kim at
km_livengood@yahoo.com.
We are currently offering the following ANABAT TRAINING workshops:
Techniques Workshop
Techniques Training is a course designed to give a good overall understanding of Anabat use and call analysis. Students will learn to be confident in the use of the Anabat system and will gain a working understanding of acoustics to use the system effectively. Participants will gain theoretical understanding and hands on training with the Anabat detector in a number of field implementations and will learn how to manage Anabat data efficiently. Special attention will be given to developing the skills needed to interpret and identify recorded bat calls. A set of example calls of regional bats will be supplied to supplement calls collected by students during the class.
Topics to be covered:
- Anabat Applications (Active, Mobile, and Passive monitoring)
- How to make and use a reference call library
- Acoustics (nature of ultrasonic sounds)
- How bat behavior relates to the types of calls they use
- Understanding how bat detectors work
- Experimental Design
- AnalookW analysis software
- Understanding how to interpret AnalookW displays (what was the bat doing?)
- Philosophy of call ID (what interpretation is reasonable)
- How to identify bats of the region
Techniques Workshop full details.
Analysis Workshop
New in Fall 2010! This workshop is geared to participants who have been working with Anabat, doing some analysis, but who are now faced with large datasets to analyze. This course teaches advanced Analook and analysis techniques.
Topics to be covered:
- File management
- Advanced Analook Features
- Filters for noise removal and species identification
- Pivot tables
- and more TBA
Analysis Workshop full details.
UPCOMING WORKSHOPS:
Anabat Techniques Carrollton, Kentucky - 20-23 September 2010 details.
Anabat Analysis Las Vegas, Nevada - 19-22 October 2010 details.
TENTATIVE FUTURE WORKSHOPS--Details forthcoming:
Western Canada - Spring 2011 - Anabat Techniques
COMPLETED WORKSHOPS:
