baseline data discussion question coming soon

The Eclipse Soundscapes (ES) Project provides ES Data Collector kits to some of its partners, such as NASA at My Library. It also opens applications for groups and individuals to apply to receive a free kit to collect data during one of the upcoming solar eclipses. To apply you must be 18 years old or older and on or near (within 70%+) of the Eclipse Path. You can use the ES Solar Eclipse Look-up tool to determine if you are near or on the eclipse path or maps in the Resources section to figure this out.

April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Free Kit Application Period: 10/23/2023-1/31/2024

We will contact you via email in early February to let you know if you will receive a free kit.

The number of free kits available is limited. Free kit disbursement will be based on need, location, and date of application. We hope that anyone who does not receive a free kit will have the ability to build their own. In an effort to support this as an option the Eclipse Soundscapes team has intentionally chosen an audio recorder that is the least expensive scientific grade audio recorder we could find in addition to readily available materials.

• 1 AudioMoth Recorder
• 1 plastic bag with a zip top lock
• 3 long plastic zip ties
• 1 padded return envelope (postage included)
• 3 AA batteries
• 1 64 GB MicroSD Card (Already installed in AudioMoth in ES provided devices)
