| Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 7:00 PM Title: A Bird's Eye View: Offshore Wind Energy By: Alicia Berlin, Ph.D. and Allan O'Connell, Ph.D. Demands for alternative energy are increasing, and offshore wind projects are slated for several Atlantic coast areas. USGS, in a highly collaborative project, is tracking seabirds using satellite transmitters to determine their migration corridors in relationship to proposed wind energy areas, and to determine the potential impacts on seabirds of underwater noise from construction of these wind energy areas. USGS, in partnership with other federal agencies, is building seabird distribution models based on historic survey data covering over 60 different seabird species, like puffins and petrels to identify areas with higher and lower use by season. Join us on December 5th to learn more. |
