Anthropogenic Sound Occurrence in Crater Lake National Park

Natural soundscapes are a rapidly disappearing resource. Research of the impact and occurrence of anthropocentric sounds within the National Parks has begun under the direction of the National Park Service's Natural Sounds Program. Crater Lake National Park, in Central Oregon, is particularly know for natural quiet and serenity. However no historic data is available with regard to the soundscape of Crater Lake, it is proposed that research, in accordance with Natural Sounds Protocol, begin immediately to establish the presence of anthropocentric and biological sound occurrence within the park.
