Cetacean Communication

Over the decades, I've taught many training courses on hydrophone operation and underwater sound analysis. These classes were always focused on Cetacean Research Technology hydrophones that I had designed, manufactured, and sold. Now that I no longer build hydrophones, I haven't taught any classes and I miss that! I would love to teach more classes on underwater recording and/or sound analysis, and rather than deciding exactly what the courses would entail by myself, I'd like to hear from you what you'd like to learn. Please let me know in the comments.
Also, any class I teach will be in person. We learn so much better that way, and I've run online training sessions since long before it became the post-pandemic standard and I'm no longer interested in doing that.

Testing the flow noise of a suction-cup-attached acoustic tag three weeks ago during a bit of a break in the rain on a very blustery Sunday. This newly modified CATS tag uses a custom Cetacean Research Technology CR3 hydrophone.

Fred Sharpe presented a talk to a packed theater in Port Townsend today about his years of research on humpback whales. The presentation included the work and I have assisted with over the past two summers at the Five Finger Lighthouse in Frederick Sound. It's very impressive to hear the sound of humpback thrums through the theater's sound system.
I also want to publicly thank Jack's mom for the cookies! 🍪🤎🙂
