Current Research Projects

The Conservatory produces ecoacoustic works as a platform for integrating sciences and humanities. The process of making these pieces involves scientists and humanists in the interpretation of coastal research, working together to create community performances and installations. The collaborations have inspired new scientific techniques (e.g. using sound to measure seagrass respiration), humanities projects (e.g. the role of arts in hurricane resilience), and public engagement (e.g. using sonified science to elicit feedback in a community-led climate equity survey).
