  • Integrating aircraft tracking, acoustic data, and surveys to evaluate park aircraft noise

    Lauren A Ferguson, Brian A Peterson et al.ARTICLETourism Geographies2025

    Noise from low-flying aircraft has negative impacts on nature-based tourist experiences, wildlife, and communities in tourist destinations worldwide. Within the United States, some national parks, such as Denali National Park and Preserve (DENA), experience a high volume of low-flying overflights, including from tourism activities like flightseeing tours. We utilized flight tracking data to identify overflight patterns, acoustic monitoring to est…

As a result of the pandemic, parks and protected areas around the world have witnessed dramatic increases in recreation visitation. While various studies have examined this premise, this is one of the first to examine the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic upon recreation visitation across an entire parks and protected areas system in New England, utilizing both spatial and temporal…

  • Ecosystem services enhanced through soundscape management link people and wildlife

    Open AccessMitchell J Levenhagen, Zachary D Miller et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    Burgeoning urbanization, development and human activities have led to reduced opportunities for nature experience in quiet acoustic environments. Increasing noise affects both humans and wildlife alike. We experimentally altered human‐caused sound levels in a paired study using informational signs that encouraged quiet behaviours in week‐on, week‐off blocks on the trail system of Muir Woods National Monument, California, USA to test if the sounds…
