Beeco JA and Pipkin AR. 2018. Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park: Acoustic monitoring report 2013. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NRSS/NSNSD/NRR—2018/1578. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
In 2013, the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division received a request to collect baseline acoustical data in the Kahuku Unit of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park (HAVO). The request was a continuation of support from the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division (NSNSD) to assist HAVO with air tour management planning. The Kahuku Unit was acquired by the National Park Service (NPS) in July 2003 after a previous monitoring effort in HAVO that collected data at 22 sites within the previous boundary of the park (USDOT 2016). The goal of this study was to determine ambient sound levels as a baseline condition in the Kahuku Unit that currently has limited public access. Through the months of September to November 2013, four acoustical monitoring systems were deployed.
