Ian Jones is a postdoctoral research investigator in the Center for Acoustics Research and Education at the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space, and is advised by Dr. Jennifer Miksis-Olds. His research focuses on underwater soundscape ecology, which involves quantifying trends of sounds present in natural habitats, and how these sounds are detected and used by marine animals. He is also interested in how noise pollution, such as from vessel traffic and marine construction, impacts the behavior and ecology of marine fishes and invertebrates. Outside of work, Ian is a DJ with an affinity for trance and house music, and enjoys video games, hiking, and scuba diving.
