11. February
Passive Acoustic Monitoring | 1-Day Workshop  

Audioworkshop

The one-day audio workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to automatically recognize and record birds and bats based on their vocalizations using their own recorders or our audio:trackers. The workshop starts at 9:00 a.m. and, depending on how quickly we get through it, will last until the late afternoon/early evening.

Workshop-Contents:

  • Introducing the acoustic pipeline
    • Overall concept (how do you get acoustic evaluations (your own recorder or our speakers), how can the results be checked, export results)
    • AI birds and bats (strengths and weaknesses)
    • Hardware: birds, bats, sound dummy
    • Overview of the options in EcoHub (set up stations, upload data)
    • Overview of Grafana
    • Overview of annotation tool
  • Setting up and testing stations
    • Installing the image
    • Configuration from EcoHub
    • Configuration schedule and recording scheme
    • Testing with sound recordings
    • Visualization in Grafana (Results and Health)
  • Upload data and validation into annotation tool
  • Export of validation results

Catering

You will take care of the food. We will provide coffee, tea, water and cookies. During our lunch break we will probably order pizza for everyone. We’ll go out for something to eat in the evening with everyone who wants. 

Adress: trackIT Systems GmbH, Unterm Bornrain 4, 35091 Cölbe

Material

A few things are needed to successfully carry out the workshop:

  • Laptop with administrator rights (important!) and microSD slot (alternatively SD card reader).
  • Smartphone with the following apps:
  • Test recordings of birds or bats where you know what is in them to test our AI.

25.-26. February | 01.-02. April
Automatic radio telemetry| 2-Day Workshop

The workshops start early at 9 a.m., which is why we recommend that anyone traveling for a longer period of time book accommodation the evening before.

The second day is open ending and dependent on how quickly we progress. Especially those who want to take some more material with them should perhaps stay another night or expect it to start late.

Trains and buses run from Marburg to Cölbe train station. From there it’s about an 8-minute walk to us. Parking spaces are also plentiful.

It is somewhat of a tradition that we meet on the evening of our arrival at 7:00 p.m. in the “Sudhaus” in downtown Marburg to get to know each other for the first time. On the first evening of the workshop, a visit to a restaurant is planned for everyone who wants. Accordingly, it is recommended to book the overnight stay in Marburg and not in Cölbe. 

Accommodation

Since we all come from Marburg, we don’t know much about hotels. Three options that participants rated as good are: Marburger Hof, Marburg Living and Elisabeth Apartments.
