This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

Leroux et al.
Mitigating anthropogenic climate change involves deployments of renewable energy worldwide, including wind energy, which can cause significant impacts on flying animals. Bats have highly contrasted responses to wind turbines (WT), either through attraction increasing collision risks, or avoidance leading to habitat losses. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown despite the…

Malzer et al.
In this paper, we report on a newly developed 34 GHz radar system and its field application in the wind energy testing site WINSENT on the Swabian Alb (Germany). The envisaged sensor system addresses the early detection of birds for a bird-friendly wind turbine operation. In this way, wind turbines could be adaptively controlled to reduce the collision risk of endangered species. Besides the…

Bat Conservation International
More than half of the 154 known bat species across North America are at risk of severe population decline in the next 15 years, according to the first-ever State of the Bats Report published by the North American Bat Conservation Alliance (NABCA), a multinational coalition from the United States, Mexico, and Canada, including Bat Conservation International. Experts believe that as many…

Wang et al.
The global demand for renewable energy has resulted in a rapid expansion of offshore wind farms (OWFs) and increased attention to the ecological impacts of OWFs on the marine ecosystem. Previous reviews mainly focused on the OWFs’ impacts on individual species like birds, bats, or mammals. This review collected numerous field-measured data and simulated results to summarize the ecological…

Automated radio telemetry systems consist of radio tags (small transmitters attached to birds, bats, or insects) and stations (receivers with antennas that record signals from “tagged” organisms within detection range). The Motus Wildlife Tracking System (‘Motus’; www.motus.org) is an international collaborative research network that uses cooperative…

The South Fork Wind Farm (SFWF), as proposed by Deepwater Wind South Fork LLC (DWSF), will consist of the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of an up to 15 wind turbine generators (WTGs) on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), as well as both the offshore and onshore components of an electrical energy export cable (South Fork Export Cable; SFEC) that will…

On September 4, 1977, three others and I found the partly dehydrated body of a Hoary Bat, Lasiurus cinereus, hanging from a barbed wire fence separating two areas of grassland at the north side of Beaverhill Lake. The bat, an adult female, had been caught on a barb along the upper strand of the fence and had been unable to free itself. On closer examination, it was observed that the barb had…

In the nights of October 1 and 7, 1954, and September 23, 1955, red bats (Lasiurus borealis), totalling five, crashed into the WIBW-TV television tower at one mile west of Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas. Members of the Topeka Audubon Society collected the bats together with more than 1,000 birds at the base of the 950 foot tower, and presented the specimens to the University of Kansas Museum…

Kuru et al.
The habitats of marine life, characteristics of species, and the diverse mix of maritime industries around these habitats are of interest to many researchers, authorities, and policymakers whose aim is to conserve the earth’s biological diversity in an ecologically sustainable manner while being in line with indispensable industrial developments. Automated detection, locating, and monitoring…

Erhardt et al.
We introduce a novel ultra-low power system for tracking animal movements over long periods with an unprecedented high-temporal-resolution. The localization principle is based on the detection of cellular base stations using a miniaturized software-defined radio, weighing 2.0 g, including the battery, and having a size equivalent to two stacked 1-euro cent coins. Therefore, the system is small…

US Wind is developing an offshore wind project (Project) with up to 2 gigawatts within OCS-A 0490 (Site), an area off the coast of Maryland on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf. The Project would include as many as 121 wind turbine generators, up to four offshore substations, and one MET tower in the roughly 80,000-acre Lease area. OCS-A 0490 has an adjacent active Lease Area OCS-A 0519…

BOEM Office of Renewable Energy Programs
The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) under Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 1501.7(a) require agencies such as the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to perform certain actions as part of the scoping process, including: • Determining the scope and the significant issues to be…

Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing forms of electricity development in the United States, and installed wind energy capacity in Wyoming has increased fifteenfold in the past decade. Wind is regarded as a “green energy” resource because it does not directly produce carbon dioxide emissions or other air pollutants, uses minimal amounts of water, and is renewable. However, like other forms…
