Good afternoon,

Dr. Aaron Rice, Principal Ecologist at the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology will be presenting on Thursday, April 9 in Orono. 

The talk will take place in the McIntire Room of the Buchanan Alumni House on the Orono campus, beginning at 3 PM. The talk is free and open to the public. 

"Dr. Rice will be discussing ways in which his lab uses marine bioacoustics to understand and mitigate human impacts on whales and fishes from data-deficient species, offshore wind farm construction, and marine community responses to climate change, addressing information gaps in marine spatial planning and providing data to reduce uncertainty with decision-making and policy development."

Best,

Jackie
