Recent Discoveries About Migratory Bird Ecology Using Radar and Telemetry
Prof. Jeffrey Buler
Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology
University of Delaware
Dr. Buler will share highlights of recent and ongoing research by his lab and colleagues in the field of aeroecology: the study of the ecology of flying animals aloft. He will talk about how he uses weather radar and radio telemetry technologies to make new discoveries into the impacts of light pollution on migrating birds and the aquatic nature of Purple Martins in our region.
Jeff Buler is a Professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. His broad research interests include avian ecology, landscape ecology, remote-sensing, and conservation biology. Dr. Buler established the Aeroecology Program at the University of Delaware in 2011. He is an international leader in the development of novel methods and software for using weather surveillance radars to study the broad-scale distribution, movement, and habitat use patterns of birds, insects, and bats.
