An active bioacoustics research program on North American crane vocalizations.
GRUS is a private research pipeline covering the full path from field recording through annotation to analysis. It is grounded in original field recording along the Central Flyway and in a long personal history with this migration.
Active research, with results held for peer review. Neither the pipeline nor its findings are published here yet, and the methods and analyses are deliberately not described in detail while that work is under way.
Code and documentation will land in this repo as the research clears publication.
A small demo of the general annotation workflow, built on openly licensed audio and textbook methods, lives in crane-annotation-demo: spectrogram review, call boundary detection, and export to a Raven-compatible selection table. It shares no code, data, or methods with this pipeline.
The engineering discipline behind GRUS is published separately and domain-neutral, as research-defensibility-kit: a claims registry, fail-closed release gates, blind locks for holdout sets, and negative controls.
If you work in bioacoustics, crane ecology, or Central Flyway conservation and there is a reason to talk, get in touch.
