• 3,425 Eclipse Soundscapes (ES) Apprentices participated!
• 3,373 ES Observers submitted their observations from April 8-15!
• ES Data Collector sign-up and device registration (ES ID # assignment) are both required. Device registration can be completed after the eclipse but must be completed before data submission. Data submission requires that information be submitted online as well as physically, by mailing a MicroSD card. Therefore, preliminary participation numbers will be available at the end of April and final participation numbers will be available in the months after the eclipse once data receipt has been confirmed.

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.
