U.S. national parks protect more than landscapes—they preserve natural soundscapes and dark night skies that are vital to ecological integrity and visitor experiences. This presentation highlights interdisciplinary research conducted with the National Park Service's Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division, including studies of artificial light at night, visitor use management, and the Listening Lab at the University of Vermont. Examples from parks across the U.S. demonstrate how science can inform practical conservation and visitor management.
