Dawn Chorus and Science
Citizen Science & Art Project
How do citizens, researchers, bird song experts, and artists work together at Dawn Chorus to preserve biodiversity?
Acoustic Biomonitoring
Behind every bird species there is a network of biological relationships. And that is why it is so exciting for scientists to hear over the years which bird sings when and where.
AI-supported bird call recognition
Nature conservation, biology, and bird watching benefit from automatic data analysis using machine learning. However, good AI cannot do without human expertise.
Citizen Science projects using Dawn Chorus data and infrastructure
Data Challenge: Global Tinkering for Science
The DCASE Data Challenge is a free competition for teams of scientists and other digital inventors. Datasets, available on the homepage, are meant to be analysed from specific perspectives. Participating teams subsequently create competing algorithms, striving to develop the most effective solutions for the presented “puzzle.”
FEdA: The CitySoundscapes project
The project “Soundscapes across Cityscapes” investigates the impact of audible biodiversity on the soundscape and how it affects the subjective well-being of people who visit these places, using methods from diverse scientific fields. With the Dawn Chorus App, the research team aims to directly involve the local community, initially focusing on Munich:
What does the neighborhood sound like? And how do I feel in this soundscape?
