Abstract
These proceedings document the 15th Wind Wildlife Research Meeting (WWRM), which was held on November 12-15, 2024, in Corpus Christi, Texas. The meeting covered current research pertaining to wind energy-related wildlife impacts from collision and displacement; the cumulative and potential population-level effects from both climate change and wind energy development; technological advances to avoid, minimize, and offset these impacts; and socioeconomic issues surrounding wind energy development. These proceedings reflect the core sessions of the meeting held November 13-14, including presentations and discussions among stakeholders – scientists, state and federal agencies, wind energy developers, and conservation organizations – who are working to understand challenges and develop solutions to mitigate risk to wildlife from wind, on and offshore, as we work to meet renewable energy targets to mitigate climate change. Summaries of the live presentations and discussions were compiled using the submitted abstracts, notes taken during the meeting, and recordings of the live sessions. Abstracts of the in-person posters and on-demand presentations are presented as submitted by the authors.
