Research
• Completed bat survey in mid-Atlantic Appalachian region
• Start bat survey in coastal & pelagic settings• Start impacts of artificial structures on pelagic &
benthic fish communities• Refining windpower layer in Smart Siting• Reviewing spatial & temporal statistics in MD
wind fields• Start developing offshore wind field data
