Danny Riser-Espinoza joined WEST in 2014 as a biometrician. From 2011 to 2014 Danny was the consulting statistician for Curry and Kerlinger, where he worked on wind energy and communication tower studies. Danny received a B.A. in Mathematics from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania in 2009 and a M.S. in Statistics from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX in May 2013.Since joining WEST, Danny has worked on the design and analysis of avian and bat studies at numerous renewable energy facilities. Danny has extensive experience with the design and implementation, and analysis of post-construction monitoring studies at wind and utility scale solar energy facilities. In addition to project work, Danny assists with ongoing research into statistical methods for post-construction monitoring, including models to account for unsearched area, and applications of distance sampling.
Abstract
Post construction fatality monitoring studies at wind facilities sometimes include plots that are incompletely searched. Plots may be incompletely searched for logistical and safety reasons (e.g. rugged terrain), for improved... [ view full abstract ]
