Sitting on a Cliff Waiting for some Dolphins

Notes From the Field

Hello all. I've just returned from a month in the Scottish highlands studying dolphins. Go ahead, you can be jealous and I'll forgive you. But it wasn't all fun and games, even before the tick bites and sunburns. I was there on a collaborative project with the University of Aberdeen Lighthouse Field Station (check them out and donate money) who are also studying dolphins using passive acoustic recorders.

The goal was to estimate the detection functions for  CPOD and SM acoustic detectors that comprise the majority of the data collection for my PhD.
