Wind Energy and Wildlife Impacts , 1st ed. 2019 Balancing Energy Sustainability with Wildlife Conservation
Coordonnateurs : Bispo Regina, Bernardino Joana, Coelho Helena, Lino Costa José
This book provides a state-of-art overview of the significant advances in understanding the impacts of wind energy on wildlife. However, many challenges remain regarding planning and policy, assessment of direct and indirect effects on wildlife, methodological approaches, technology development, and mitigation strategies and their effectiveness.
The book comprises a selection of the best contributions presented at the 4th Conference on Wind energy and Wildlife impacts, held in Estoril, Portugal, 2017. The contents promote the international cooperation among researchers, developers, regulators and stakeholders that have contributed to building knowledge on this topic.Chapter 1. The Role of Adaptive Management in the Wind Energy Industry (Andrea Copping, Victoria Gartman, Roel May and Finlay Bennet).- Chapter 2. Wildlife Mortality at Wind Facilities: How We Know What We Know, How We Might Mislead Ourselves and How We Set Our Future Course (Manuela Huso).- Chapter 3. Avoidance Behaviour of Migrating Raptors Approaching an Offshore Windfarm (Erik M. Jacobsen Flemming P. Jensen and Jan Blew).- Chapter 4. Estimating Potential Costs of Cumulative Barrier Effects on Migrating Raptors: A Case Study using Global Positioning System Tracking in Japan (Dale M. Kikuchi, Toru Nakahara, Wataru Kitamura and Noriyuki M. Yamaguchi).- Chapter 5. A Pioneer in Transition: Horizon Scanning of Emerging Issues in Germany’s Sustainable Wind Energy Development (Johann Köppel, Juliane Biehl, Volker Wachendörfer and Alexander Bittner).- Chapter 6.

Wind Farm Effects on Migratory Flight of Swans and Foraging Distribution at Their Stopover Site (Sachiko Moriguchi, Haruka Mukai, Ryosuke Komachi and Tsuneo Sekijima).- Chapter 9. Automatic Bird Identification for Offshore Wind Farms (Juha Niemi and Juha T. Tanttu).- Chapter 10. Towards an Ecosystem Approach to Assess the Impacts of Marine Renewable Energy (Jean-Philippe Pezy, Aurore Raoux, Nathalie Niquil and Jean-Claude Dauvin).- Chapter 11. Camera-trapping versus Conventional Methodology in the Assessment of Carcass Persistence for Fatality Estimation at Wind Farms (Luís Rosa, Tiago Neves, Diana Vieira and Miguel Mascarenhas).- Chapter 12. Lost in Bias? Multifaceted Discourses Framing the Communication of Wind and Wildlife Research Results – the PROGRESS Case (Jessica Weber, Juliane Biehl and Johann Köppel).- Chapter 13.

Regina Bispo holds a Licentiateship in Agronomical Engineering, a M.Sc. in Probability and Statistics (FCUL) and a Ph.D. in Statistics (University of Lisbon). She is an Assistant Professor at Faculty of Sciences and Technology of NOVA University of Lisbon, and has taught statistics for the last 20 years in university level courses including Mathematics, Statistics, Pharmacy, Biology and Engineering. RB is a senior researcher at Centre for Mathematics and Applications (CMA) and a collaborator at the the Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre (MARE). Her research focus on Environmental Impact Assessment and Monitoring, namely fatality assessment in windfarms and also on Climate Change issues. She has published over 30 articles in peer-reviewed publications, has 3 book chapters and 1 book published.
Joana Bernardino is a wildlife biologist with a special interest on biodiversity management and impact assessment. She holds a M.Sc. in Ecology and Environmental Management from the University of Lisbon, and over the last decade, participated in several Environmental Impact Assessments and Monitoring Programmes of renewable energy projects. Currently, Joana is a researcher in CIBIO/InBIO and is pursuing her Ph.D. in Biodiversity, Genetics and Evolution. Her main research interest is the development of methodologies to assess and mitigate wildlife fatality at wind farms and other human made infrastructures, such as power lines and roads. Since 2014, Joana is also a member of EUROBATS Intersessional Working Group on “Wind Turbines and Bat Populations”.
Helena Coelho is a biologist at Bioinsight and she is focused on the development of the best innovative solutions that allow the development of economic activities, such as wind energy, and biodiversity conservation. She holds a Ph.D. in Biology and a B.Sc. in Science Coastal Zone. Over the last decade Helena has participated in the
