Dialling in to #BOUasm24 "Birds and net zero", @ibisjournal.bsky.social's first hybrid conference. How can we minimise the impact of the (essential) energy transition on nature?

This is brilliant! BOU / @ibisjournal.bsky.social have long been known for conferencing on Twitter, so it’s great that they now lead on this here with the first crossposting of content from of one of their #ornithology events here on Bluesky. Follow/engage on the #BOUasm24 tag.

At #BOUasm24 Katherine Whyte is trying to understand the mechanisms behind the impacts of offshore wind developments on seabirds

To understand predator-prey interactions, they are collecting GPS tracking data of tagged seabirds and conducting acoustic and trawl surveys of fish

#BOU2024 is coming to an end so thank you for engaging! We run several #ornithology conferences each year, so look out for #BOUsci24, #BOUasm24 and #BOU2025. All conferences have parallel X / Twitter events and perhaps they will start featuring more on Bluesky

#BOUasm24 was just kicked off by Dr Aonghais Cook with a talk titled 'From individual turbines to a global scale: overcoming evidence gaps to deliver an environmentally sensitive energy transition'

#Offshore windfarms are popping up all over the place to help meet #NetZero

Next up at #BOUasm24 is Ros Green talking about how global governments need to work together to limit negative impacts of #NetZero infrastructure on migrants.

This new framework allows for assessing species vulnerability whilst on migration: papers.ssrn.com/sol3...

Silvia Giuntini at #BOUasm24 talked about the aerial migratory niche. By analysing 108 million radar observations from 143 NEXRAD sites, she identified peak activity hours & locations. This can inform when offshore energy could be switched off to protect birds when they're most active

Ilaria Fozzi is talking at #BOUasm24 about the risks of wind turbines for vultures. By using publicly available datasets, they found varied risk to vulture's feeding grounds based on the used map. Mapping planned turbines is crucial for forecasting collision risks.

At #BOUasm24, Mike Heath is talking about assessing the effectiveness of compensatory measures for the effects of #offshore #windfarms on #seabirds.

The number of offshore turbines is expected to quadruple by 2050... What effects could this have on seabirds?

Impacts are *cumulative*, because birds are likely to be within range of multiple wind farms #BOUasm24 #ornithology

Failing to account for density dependent regulation of population size can lead to unrealistic projections - we should be moving towards a density-dependent framework for PVA #BOUasm24 #ornithology
