Soundscape: The Journal of Acoustic Ecology

Contact: soundscape-editor@wfae.net

We are excited about our organization's publication, Soundscape: The Journal of Acoustic Ecology.

After years of working to establish a functioning international network through the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE), we are now able to devote time to offering a professional journal publication.

In the past,The Soundscape Newsletter, The New Soundscape Newsletter, and the WFAE web site, have been the primary means of keeping the acoustic ecology community connected and informed. Now it is time that we pool our energies through this new publication.

We see this journal as a place of dialogue and debate and invite your comments, questions and critical voices.

We archive previous editions of the Journal online 6-12 months after publication. We provide this as a service to members and others interested in the field of acoustic-ecology. Journals are available in a PDF format. A free copy of the current Acrobat Reader can be downloaded directly from Adobe.

We have prepared a set of Instructions for Accessing PDF Files for those who may not be familiar with this format or are having difficulty downloading documents.
