My current work with the Nature Conservancy New York focuses on understanding the impacts of offshore development on seabirds. Using a combination of targeted tracking studies, analyses of existing data, and sensitivity and power analyses, I am working with collaborators to build a stronger knowledge base about seabirds in the region and strengthen links between science and policy.
In addition to novel tracking studies of shearwaters, gannets, gulls, and terns, I have published analyses of required sample sizes for Motus tracking studies and meta-analyses and reviews related to displacement of seabirds by offshore wind energy development. I am also working on a project with collaborators from Biodiversity Research Institute, University of St. Andrews, and Ross EcoAnalytics to refine power and vulnerability analyses to examine effects of offshore wind energy-related displacement from marine habitats on seabird populations.
