"Scientists have long used sound to study wildlife. Bird calls, bat
echolocation and whale songs, for example, have provided valuable insights for
decades. But listening to entire ecosystems is a much newer frontier.
Listening to rivers is especially tricky. Beneath the water is a soundscape of
clicks, pops and hums that most of us never hear. Many of these sounds are a
mystery. What produces them – an insect? A fish? The water itself?
A new tool developed by my colleagues and I aims to help scientists decode what
underwater river sounds really mean. We hope it will help monitor river health
and tell the untold stories of these fascinating underwater places."
