Announcements

I am currently looking for graduate students (M.S. or Ph.D.) or Post-Docs

If you are interested in bioacoustics, zooplankton or fish ecology,
or any of the other projects described on these pages, please contact Joe.
Knowledge or experience in computer programming needed.

I wrote a lay-language article for Acoustics Today [15 MB file!] about how active acoustics is used to assess fish and zooplankton. For those interested in a general overview to my research field, this is a great place to start.

Congratulations to former lab member, Joy Smith whose paper in the ICES Journal of Marine Science about developing a target strength model for Bering Sea euphausiids is the 2nd published paper from her Masters thesis.

The ALES group is back in NY getting ready for our next set of projects and working on analyzing data from our recent projects in Australia (working with the SURFAH group), Alaska, the NE Pacific, and Antarctica, catching up on sample processing, paper and report writing, and -maybe- sneaking in some surf if we get some decent waves here in Long Island. Joe recently traveled to Penn State to teach the active acoustics section of the SeaBASS week-long graduate course in bioacoustics.

Prof. Peterson and I had another great group of students in our winter term course MAR 388: Tropical Marine Ecology (read all about it in this year's  course blog).

Check out our lab blog from our past several research cruises in the Pacific Ocean (Aug 2012) and in Antarctica (Nov/Dec 2010 and 2011).

Recent presentations by members of our lab include: 2012 Ocean Sciences meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah (February 2012);  ICES WGFAST meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland and shortly afterwards to the Acoustic Challenges in Aquatic Ecosystem Assessment Workshop sponsored by the Acoustical Society of America and the American Fisheries Society in Seattle, WA (both May 2011); the 5th International Zooplankton Production Symposium  in Pucon, Chile (March 2011).  It was a great meeting with ~ 300 zooplankton scientists from around the globe in attendance. I also found a local bakery which made alfajores which were delicious.

Congratulations to former lab member, Joy Smith whose work for her Masters thesis on the variability of material properties of Bering Sea zooplankton was published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.

Congratulations to former lab member, Krissy Forman whose work for her Masters thesis on the variability of material properties of zooplankton and nekton was published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science.

                                  Attention Stony Brook undergraduate MAR/MVB/ENS majors:                                  

I am looking for students to assist in the analysis of zooplankton samples from Cape Cod and Antarctica. You will be able to receive academic credit or pay for working in my lab. If interested, please contact me.
