[microsound] hydrophones and methane

Ruth Varner* and *Michael Palace* of CSRC were recently funded by the 
U.S. Geological Survey to develop a prototype instrument to detect 
ebullition or bubbling events of methane in wetland and lake ecosystems. 
This novel method utilizes hydrophones (underwater microphones) to 
monitor and extract this information cheaply and efficiently over long 
temporal scales. Coupling these audio methods with the analysis of gas 
samples will help to determine the pathway by which methane is formed 
through microbial processes or methanogenesis.

I'm wondering if I get these long audio files together if people might 
be interested in making a microsound project using them as source files.
