Abstract
Data Sonification is a form of auditory display for data analysis. This project's analysis focuses on the auditory display of aerial/flight data representing eight different European Free Tailed Bats in Mirandela, Portugal. The data points were originally collected to determine if these bats were utilizing wind patterns to achieve extreme flight heights at remarkable speeds for the species. For the purposes of this sonification, the primary data mappings are pitch for height data at measured sea level, and note duration value (length) for speed.

Comments
The idea is to use the poster session to present the information, but to also have a laptop setup with a pair of headphones to allow observers to listen to the sonification.
