Project: Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System (ISEGS) Endangered Species Protection
Project Details
To develop new solar generation in the US, development must follow protocols to protect the endangered wild plants and animals that live there. At the world’s largest concentrating solar plant (which uses mirrors instead of electric solar panels,) We led both biology and construction crews to effectively protect and monitor desert tortoises, migratory birds, and other animals imperiled by construction.
We supported long term conservation efforts with applied field expertise, technical report writing, and communication skills.

Recent Projects
Project: Institute of Current World Affairs Climate Fellowship
We’ve heard about Pacific Islanders imminently displaced by rising seas, but limited news reports and even less research emerges from Latin America and the Caribbean regarding the impacts of climate change.
Project: Fulbright Coastal Vulnerability Map
How can we use existing data to understand the vulnerability of the Baja peninsula to predicted sea level rise? Collaboration with local and international non-profits, academic institutions, governments, and local individuals was the key.
Project: Africa Clean Energy Corridor
As Africa’s energy needs grow, countries look to develop wind, solar, and geothermal resources to build a thriving regional energy market. To promote energy access and lower energy poverty, we calculated the levelized cost of energy…
Project: Kosovo Renewable Energy Strategy
Kosovo, one of the world’s youngest countries, burns dirty lignite coal for electricity only a few miles from the capital city. These power plants are among the three dirtiest in Europe, increasing Kosovo’s emissions while endangering the health of its citizens.
Project: Fulbright NEXUS Map of Stories
New stories of climate change impacts and local adaptations emerge daily, both in local news and academic publications. Yet the local information and academic research rarely inform each other.
