Water Stories: David McFarlane on Building Connection with the Great Lakes through their Acoustic Ecology

In episode seven of “Water Stories: the Podcast,” Eve Barro talks with David McFarlane, who explores the acoustic ecology of the Great Lakes through his PhD at Toronto Metropolitan University. McFarlane’s research involves translating the ecological dynamics of these large bodies of water into sound, using technology to deepen our connection and understanding. His innovative work highlights the importance of viewing the lakes as active participants in ecological and cultural narratives, advocating for their protection and appreciation.
