C-POD and DeepC-POD

The C-POD uses digital waveform characterisation to select cetacean clicks and logs the time, centre frequency, sound pressure level, duration and bandwidth of each click. There is also be a deep water version of the C-POD. Find out more...

C-click

The C-click detector takes the inaudible high frequency ultrasound and converts it to frequencies between 100 Hz and 12 kHz, which are in the range of human hearing. The detector can be tuned to receive a range of frequencies from different dolphin species, from 15 kHz to 130 kHz. Using the C-click, most toothed cetaceans can be heard up to 1 km away, and porpoises up to about 100 metres. Find out more...

Consultancy

We offer a range of consultancy services to help you plan and implement your project and analyse your data:

Data analysis and interpretation

Analysing data, even with the benefit of our fully automated software and tutorials, may be a challenge for less experienced users. To assist, we provide a choice of services:

Data analysis service

We will analyse your data for you and provide a full report to include:

  • File checks.
  • Data validation.
  • Statistical validation.
  • Analysis of data.
  • Tabulation of appropriate statistics on detection rates at different sites.
  • Graphical representation of any behavioural measures of interest in the data.
  • An informal assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the data set against possible uses.
  • An informal comment on how these data compare with other static acoustic monitoring studies of the same species elsewhere.

Data analysis training

For those who prefer to analyse their own data, we can provide on-site or remote training in the use of our products. Please contact us for more information on this service.
