Understanding how species of concern respond to anthropogenic activities is becoming increasingly important. While the ways in which anthropogenic activities affect species are potentially many, our understanding the effects of anthropogenic noise on species is still developing. Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB), situated along the Central Coast of California, presents an opportunity to study the effects of anthropogenic noise on species of concern as 1) the rate of rocket launches/landings has recently increased and is predicted to significantly increase in the coming years compared to the last three decades and 2) there are multiple threatened and endangered species at VSFB that may be affected by the increased launch cadence. Our interdisciplinary research team consisting of wildlife ecologists and physical acousticians is working to understand 1) the acoustical landscape at VSFB before and after rocket launches and 2) the short and long-term responses of threatened and endangered species inhabiting areas relatively close to active VSFB launch complexes. Using previously collected and current species’ data and acoustic data from VSFB, we will create models that describe and help predict species responses to rocket launches. We will discuss the scope and overview of this project.
