University Fellow, Marina Duarte, plays key role in International Bioacoustics Congress

The event brought together 240 experts from around the world, serving as an important meeting point to discuss the latest trends and findings in the field of Bioacoustics. Marina presented a talk on ‘Acoustic Monitoring of Black-Tufted Marmosets in a Tropical Forest Disturbed by Mining Noise’.

Marina’s research as a University Fellow focuses on environmental pollution, specifically noise pollution effects on wildlife. Over the coming years, Marina intends to set up and lead a research group in Bioacoustics focused on analysing and understanding noise pollution effects on biodiversity using innovative methods.

Marina said: “It was a unique opportunity to attend the congress, which was incredibly enriching, providing valuable opportunities for networking and learning from colleagues and industry experts.”

The University Fellows are a cohort of 21 outstanding early career researchers across our four schools. Supported and nurtured by the University environment, these prestigious appointments will foster world-leading research and innovation aimed at tackling some of the most pressing problems facing the world today. The fellowships are independent and permanent appointments, focused entirely on building research profiles for the first two years.

All our Fellows have demonstrated that they are on the way to building an outstanding track record of research, innovation and impact. The Fellows have a clear vision for their future leadership in research, which will involve developing new partnerships with public, industry and third sector organisations, and innovating in research-led teaching.
