Soil Ecoacoustics - viable?

Groups

Hi everyone, 

A colleague is keen to get a gauge on the potential of soil ecoacoustic tech. They are asking - it appears to be quite simple and practical tech, is it viable for widespread use, useful at scale? I haven't heard much about soil acoustics, so would appreciate hearing about your experiences - is anyone working in this space?

Hi Steph!

I have no experience with soil ecoacoustics whatsover but seem to remember a recent tweet with someone doing it (obviously can't find it now...). 

A quick google turned this up as top hit:

Cheers,

Lars
