Bioacoustic Soundscapes & Data Innovation
Pioneering Welsh government-backed data innovation for landscape monitoring
We develop state-of-the-art bioacoustic monitoring networks to map and analyse ecosystem structure and function at a landscape scale. Backed by technology innovation funding, our system translates raw environmental soundscapes into verifiable metrics — tracking long-term biodiversity health and habitat connectivity. By pioneering novel data models, we establish a longitudinal scientific window to accelerate regional climate resilience and safeguard future food security.
Ecosystem Data Innovation
01. Structure
We record ambient sound profiles across the landscape to evaluate changing habitat frameworks, mapping exactly how diverse bird, bat, and insect populations occupy our multi-layered vegetation zones.
02. Function
We analyse the activity patterns of native species to evaluate complex biological interactions, using non-invasive sound tracking to systematically verify how our agroforestry designs support ecological processes.
03. Processes
We track long-term acoustic fluctuations across seasonal cycles to measure environmental changes, capturing data shifts that validate the restoration models of our regional networks.
04. Literacy
We translate technical acoustic metrics into accessible insights, opening interactive channels for local residents to explore the landscape matrix and directly co-design our conservation goals.
