Calling all migration fanatics: This is just a note that we've started a new Aeroecology workgroup over at the social networking site ResearchGate (don't worry- no connection to Watergate- no one will steal your files under the cover of darkness). You can check it out and join here if you'd like: http://www.researchgate.net/group/Aeroecology/ The idea behind the group is that there's a lot of potential for collaboration in the field of Aeroecology (study of aerial biota using radar and other remote sensing techniques) and ResearchGate promises to provide a platform for such collaborative work. Come check us out and join the discussion if you're so inclined!
Also, for those of you interested in how radar is being used to classify stopover habitat, check out the following announcement: Please join the presentation tomorrow, Thursday, April 26th, from 12 noon 1:00 p.m. for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Science Seminar in Hadley, MA on "Radar Analysis of Fall Migration Stopover Sites in Region 5." The presenters are Jeff Buler, University of Delaware and Deanna Dawson, USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. To read the presentation abstract and presenter bios, please visit: http://www.fws.gov/northeast/s cience/seminars/april2012.html The presentation will take place in the Northeast Regional Office large auditorium or you can join us via Livestream broadcast by using this link: http://www.livestream.com/r5broadcasts A closed captioned version of the presentation will be broadcast simultaneously.
