Her research interests include bioenergetics modeling of waterbirds, habitat utilization of Atlantic seabirds using state of the art tracking technologies and developing innovative techniques to determine underwater noise impacts and potential deterrents on seabirds.New Research:Impacts of prey resources, weather, and time of day on habitat use for wintering lesser scaup in the Chesapeake Bay. Collaborators: University of Delaware (UDEL) and Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDDNR)Improving and field-testing solar-powered GPS/GSM transmitter design and attachment techniques to increase effectiveness of the technology for tracking marine and coastal birds. Collaborators: USFWSIn-air and underwater hearing thresholds and assessment of auditory deterrents on diving birds. Collaborators: USFWS, University of Delaware (UDEL), Naval Undersea Warfare CenterUnderstanding visual stimuli aversive to diving birds to inform fisheries bycatch mitigation development.
