Modern North American carnivore communities are sparse compared with those elsewhere, with many of the largest species having gone extinct at the end of the Pleistocene, about 11.7 thousand years ago. Today, many species of carnivore that survived the […]

Infrasonic signatures are long wave acoustic signals in the under 20 Hz range (below human hearing). The partner organization has been experimenting with infrasonic sensor systems to achieve 2 key outcomes: a) detection clear air turbulence to benefit commercial air travel and b) detection of marine vessels. The ability to detect clear air turbulence from […]
