Eclipse Soundscapes Project

• 4,065 Eclipse Soundscapes (ES) Apprentices participated!
• 4,351 ES Observers submitted their observations from April 8-15!
• 1,310 ES Data Collectors: ES Data Collectors had to sign up and register devices to get an ES ID#. Registration could happen after the eclipse but was required before data submission. To submit data, participants used their ES ID# to submit location info online and mail a MicroSD card. Out of 1,310 participants, 457 sites provided all required info (ES ID#, location, and MicroSD card).

We are processing your data submissions from the online form and mailed-in MicroSD cards. This is still ongoing due to the large volume of MicroSD cards and multiple stages involved. Please be patient and check back frequently. We will notify you via our updates email list once processing is complete.

Eclipse Soundscapes Data Collectors used AudioMoth recording devices to capture audio, which they then submitted by mailing their MicroSD cards to the ES team. With the audio data collection phase now complete, we encourage Data Collectors to continue their scientific exploration using their AudioMoths.
