Using AI to analyze forest bird soundscapes

October 3, 2024

Researcher Patrick Hart was recently interviewed by Catherine Cruz on Hawaiʻi Public Radio about his Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center (PI-CASC) funded project. His research leverages technological advances in monitoring Native Hawaiian forest bird populations by using a combination of automated devices that record the sounds of the forest, or soundscapes, and machine-learning algorithms that can rapidly identify birds singing within those soundscapes.
