Audubon Science: Producing actionable science for bird conservation

Chad Wilsey Ph.D., Vice President and Chief Scientist, National Audubon Society

Chad Wilsey has been with Audubon since 2013 and in his current role, leads a team of scientists conducting analyses in support of Audubon’s national main mission: to protect birds and the places they need. Chad’s research generally focuses on the impacts of climate and land-use change on birds and ecosystems. He commonly works with big data collected by volunteer scientists along with tools such as GIS, machine learning, and systematic spatial prioritization. In this talk, Chad will share some of Audubon’s initiatives, including the newest Bird Migration Explorer. This new platform allows you to explore the heroic annual journeys made by over 450 bird species, and the challenges they face along the way.
