Painting wind turbine blades in a different color has shown promising results for reducing bird fatalities.
Offshore wind bird and bat post-construction monitoring with Acoustic and Thermographic Offshore Monitoring (ATOM)
Smart curtailment technology reduces bat mortality by shutting down turbines when bats are present and wind speeds are moderate
We collaborated with a wind developer and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to develop an Eagle Conservation Plan for an Oklahoma wind facility.
We present a model for predicting electrocution risk of bald eagles and wood storks on distribution poles in Florida.
Landscape spatial models inform collision risks for birds and bats in the central United States
Landscape habitat variables can influence wetland breeding birds’ occupancy of an area. This research examines the effects of landscape habitat variables on wetland birds in the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States.
