A dramaturgy of uncertainty: Transdisciplinary manoeuvres across forestry and theatre

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The uncertainties of climate change mean that forestry adaptation strategies are often complex and contested. Research has suggested that there is an interest in the forestry sector for facilitated dialogue about uncertainty (de Pellegrin Llorente et al., 2023).

Quantitative Soundscape Analysis to Understand Multidimensional Features

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
A methodology for the analysis of soundscapes was developed in an attempt to facilitate efficient and accurate soundscape comparisons across time and space. The methodology consists of a collection of traditional soundscape metrics, statistical measures,

The bag-of-frames approach: a not so sufficient model for urban soundscapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The "bag-of-frames" approach (BOF), which encodes audio signals as the long-term statistical distribution of short-term spectral features, is commonly regarded as an effective and sufficient way to represent environmental sound recordings (soundscapes ...

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Immersive Composition for Sensory Rehabilitation: 3D Visualisation, Surround Sound, and Synthesised Music to Provoke Catharsis and Healing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
There is a wide range of sensory therapies using sound, music and visual stimuli. Some focus on soothing or distracting stimuli such as natural sounds or classical music as analgesic, while other approaches emphasize the active performance of producing ...

Impact of parameterization in multiple acoustic index comparisons: practical cases in terrestrial and underwater soundscapes

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...

Concept, Framework, and Data Model for Geographical Soundscapes

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information
Existing concepts and frameworks of soundscapes focus on the analysis and description of the sound source but do not explore geographical environment parameters and receiver characteristics in the geographical scene.

Conceptual overlays for urban soundscape design emerging from a transversal analysis of Lefebvre, Deleuze and Guattari, and Arendt

open access: yesSoundEffects, 2013
This paper describes theoretical developments that have emerged alongside the author’s urban soundscape design practice. The theory, which emerged from a transversal analysis of Henri Lefebvre, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, and Hannah Arendt ...

Soundscape Evaluation Comparison of Outdoor Activity Space Between Gated and Open Communities

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
In communities, outdoor activity space is utilized most often by older adults and children, and the soundscape is very important for its quality. For different community planning modes, such as gated and open communities, focus should be on different ...
