From Signals to the Sea: Building an AI Sound Library for the Ocean

From Signals to the Sea: Building an AI Sound Library for the Ocean

We chatted with Bram Cuyx, an underwater acoustics AI research engineer at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Belgium, about his unique path from engineering into marine science. In this interview, he shares how he made the leap from signal processing in electronics to listening to the soundscape of the North Sea, what it’s like to build a sound library for AI, and why acoustics might b ...[Read More]

Call for input: A Fisherman’s Guide to Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

Call for input: A Fisherman’s Guide to Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

As climate change continues to reshape our oceans, science communication remains vital to the research and development of mitigation strategies. For scientists and engineers working on climate solutions, much of the conversation happens through technical papers, conference presentations, and policy memos. But invested communities outside these circles may have little access and limited time to con ...[Read More]
