Beam Reach wiki
A wiki supporting research projects of the Beam Reach Marine Science and Sustainability School.

Data
Links to Beam Reach science narratives, logs, and raw data. Not all raw data files are available on line (as of winter 2010); please contact us with requests to upload audio files of interest you find in the narratives or logs. You may find valuable context (e.g. photos, audio) in the associated science blogbook posts, though the text is the same as the narrative entries.
- 2009: science narrative | science log | raw data (upon request)
- 2008: science narrative | science log | raw data (upon request)
- 2007: fall 2007 data directory
- fall 2006, fall 2005...
- all sounds
- all images
- how to archive video? (Vimeo)
Projects and processing
Useful tools for processing:
On-going group research projects:
- localization tests
- Vocalization attributable to individual whales
- Echosounder surveys of salmon, other fish, and plankton
- Ling cod acoustic tagging
- Automated photo identification
- Puget Soundscape
- Salish Sea hydrophone network (Collaboration with the Whale Museum and others)
- Fish and invertebrate sounds of the Pacific Northwest
Space for individual research projects (e.g. externships)
- Your project here?
Published or public results
- Past student research papers and presentations
- Source level of calls from Southern resident killer whales (Val Veirs and Scott Veirs, 2005)
- Ambient noise in killer whale critical habitat (Val Veirs and Scott Veirs, 2006-2009)
- Commercial shipping noise in Haro Strait (Scott Veirs and Val Veirs, 2006)
- Fall 2007 mother+calf localization (Val Veirs et al, 2008)
- Information theory applied to southern resident killer whale calls (Kenna Lehmann et al., 2008)
- Killer whales increase their call amplitude in response to vessel noise (Holt et al, 2009)
- Hydroacoustic assessment of the prey field for killer whales in Haro Strait (Veirs et al, 2009, Poster at the Puget Sound Georgia Basin Ecosystem Conference]
- Acoustic characterization of killer whale habitat (Veirs, S., Veirs, V., and Wood, J., 2009; presented at the Transboundary Naturalist Workshop)
- 2011 ASA Seattle presentations (blog synopsis | archived meeting program PDF(3.5 MB))
- Orca hearing weighted decibels: Underwater sound measurements appropriate to studies of Orcinus (killer whales) (Val Veirs, David Bain, and Scott Veirs)
- Masking of southern resident killer whale signals by commercial ship noise (Scott R. Veirs and Val R. Veirs)
- Shipping noise signatures (Val Veirs, Scott Veirs, and Jason Wood)
- Are click rates in killer whales an indicator of group behavior and foraging hotspots? (Erica L. Beneze, Jason Wood, Scott Veirs , and Val Veirs)
- Shipping noise and vocal compensation by Southern Resident killer whales: Haro Strait as a study case. Jason D. Wood (SMRU Ltd.), Peggy Foreman (Univ. of Washington), Val Veirs, and Scott Veirs
