I am beyond delighted to announce the launch of a new @coursera course in #Radar #Aeroecology: Exploring Biodiversity with Radar. It's a fascinating and important area of research with huge potential for global biodiversity monitoring. #MOOC #Biodiversity #COP15
New #onlinecourse exploring #aeroecology is now available on @coursera! Led by @katatrepsis this course will help you to develop skills in using #radar to explore #biodiversity. bit.ly/3NO43Nv

Redell Olsen's 'Weather, Whether Radar: Plume of the Volants' explores radar-detected insect swarms through the expanded frames of sound, poetics, alongside visual and digital practice. A digital studio iteration of the project can be found at: weatherwhetherradar.art

@BiodarProject is using weather radar to track species of insects, and you can help by filling in their short survey below π
12 Jul 2022
The @BiodarProject is pioneering a way to recognise and quantify different species of insects in our skies using weather radar.
They will use your real world sightings of flying ants to help confirm whether they have successfully spotted these insects using weather radar.

Is it #FlyingAntDay near you?
Contrary to popular belief, Flying Ant Day can actually take place on different days in different places.
Ants can take flight at almost any point during the summer months. We need your help to find out when they're flying near you...

The @BiodarProject is running a public survey to track flying ant day across the country.
Researchers will compare results to radar observations, to see how well they can detect insects via radar.
When you spot flying ants, tell us via Google Forms ‡οΈ

Well done Freya π
@BiodarProject has been exploring how electromagnetic modelling can help radar to observe and monitor insects.

My 1st first-author paper! We, @BiodarProject, show through modelling a #moth, morphological accuracy with inclusion of limbs & wings, improve upon the #radar cross section for simulations of #insects over using an ellipsoid. #ecology

Science is a team effort. I thank all my collaborators for working on this project; in particular @tom_dally89, who, without his expertise this paper would not have been completed.
