The next phase of environmental research at the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) off the Aberdeenshire coast is scheduled to start next week after Vattenfall appointed a Scottish specialist to carry out the studies.
The Edinburgh-based team of RPS Consulting and Danish-based DHI Group will deploy radar-camera based digital technology to monitor the flight patterns and responses of gannet, kittiwake and large gulls flying during the summer breeding season through and close to EOWDC.
