Lassen Volcanic National Park: Acoustic monitoring report.
Pipkin AR. 2016. Lassen Volcanic National Park: Acoustic monitoring report.. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NRSS/NSNSD/NRR—2016/1306. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
In 2013, the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division (NSNSD) received a request to collect baseline acoustic data during the summer of 2014 at Lassen Volcanic National Park (LAVO). From August to October 2014 three acoustic monitoring systems were deployed in three spatially dispersed areas of the park. These stations were configured to collect sound pressure level data and continuous audio recordings for approximately thirty days but remained deployed for an additional month due to logistics of retrieval. The baseline data collected during this period will help managers and planners assess the current condition of the acoustic environment in different areas of the park. Results of this study will help the park better manage wilderness areas and will inform the Wilderness Stewardship Plan.
