Data
Links to Beam Reach science narratives, logs, and raw data. Not all raw data files are available on line; 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.

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)
