Ecoacoustics of London

Here’s an interesting project that looks at the sound of a major city, including its biodiversity.

“We have created tools to make it easier to monitor the environment in London.

CityNet is a machine-learned system that measures the amount of audible sound made by wildlife and humans recorded using sound recorders. This can be used to give a very detailed picture of how biodiversity and human activities change over time.

We use an interactive map to display the automatically-inferred trends in biodiversity and human sounds at 63 sites of green infrastructure in and around Greater London, UK.”
