Eclipse Soundscapes collected sound data and observations from the October 2023 annular and April 2024 total solar eclipses to study their impact on U.S. ecosystems. As we process and share this data, we’ll provide updates through webinars, social media, and our email list. We’ll also highlight similar projects, so stay involved for more insights!

On November 6, 2024, Eclipse Soundscapes hosted a community webinar where attendees explored the emotional and scientific impacts of the project through an insightful interview with Dr. Kelly Lynn Mulvey, Associate Professor of Psychology at North Carolina State University. Dr. Mulvey shared how the project increased participants’ sense of belonging in science—especially for female-identifying individuals—and evoked powerful feelings of awe, particularly for those closer to the path of totality. The recording of this engaging session is now available to watch and learn more about the transformative role of participatory science in fostering connections to science and wonder.

On October 23, 2024 Eclipse Soundscapes hosted a community webinar, where attendees learned how AudioMoth devices donated by the Eclipse Soundscapes project will be contributing to scientific research. Brad Bumgardner, Executive Director at Indiana Audubon, introduced their pilot program, Echoes of the Night Sky, which focuses on nocturnal migration monitoring in Indiana. This initiative, launched in Spring 2024, aimed to collect data on nocturnal flight calls to better understand bird migration patterns. The donated AudioMoth devices will help to expand the program.

In this recorded Eclipse Soundscapes Community webinar, Don Ficken of Dark Sky Missouri discussed two projects using AudioMoths, donated by the Eclipse Soundscapes community, to protect nature at night. The first project, Nocturnal Flight Calls – Lights Out Heartland, analyzes nocturnal bird calls during migration to encourage turning off lights at night. The second project captures nighttime sounds to connect the public and conservationists with nocturnal wildlife and promote reducing outdoor lighting. Both projects are being piloted in St. Louis with plans to expand. The webinar highlighted how AudioMoths support scientific exploration.
