We are investigating the inequitable distribution of noise pollution in cities and the cascading impacts to urban biodiversity and people.

We aim to uncover how social sampling bias, driven by inadequate engagement of marginalized communities in 'citizen' science programs like eBird, impacts ecological inference and our undermines our understanding of patterns of urban biodiversity.
