Preserving Oases along the Flyway
STUDENT PROJECTS

Marine Academy of Science & Technology - M.A.S.T.

Each school participating in the Preserving Oases project was outfitted with a microphone to record the nocturnal flight calls of migrating birds.  There are perhaps thousands of .wav files generated during the migration season.  Students at M.A.S.T. have been hard at work classifying the acoustic files into "bird" and "non-bird."  From here they will be able to determine not only if migration occurred over their school, but also the flock composition of those migrants!  Click here to see their final analysis of "Migration over Sandy Hook, NJ - Fall 2003"
