We are excited to announce that a workshop titled Operating and Calibrating Offshore Motus Stations will be taking place at the venue from 3-5 pm on Tuesday, July 26th, free of charge and open to all who are interested in learning more about applied, technical aspects of managing offshore Motus stations.
Organized by Pam Loring (Division of Migratory Birds, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) and Erik Carlson (Department of Physics, University of Rhode Island), the workshop will provide hands-on demonstrations and discussions on some of the key technical aspects of operating, maintaining, and calibrating automated radio telemetry stations on offshore buoys and wind turbines in coordination with the Motus Wildlife Tracking System.
The agenda will include:
-
Calibration methods and protocols to estimate detection range and coverage of offshore Motus stations
-
Demonstration of an online calibration tool for survey design and data analysis
-
Workflows and tips for operating, managing, and troubleshooting receivers at offshore Motus stations
