• White-tailed eagle population dynamics

• Genetics of white-tailed eagles

• Radio telemetry of white-tailed eagles

• Behavioural responses in white-tailed eagles

• Avian radar technology development                                 

• Willow ptarmigan population studies

• Wind energy and waders / smaller passerines

• Optical/auditive mitigation measures

• GIS, terrain modelling and data flow

• Bibliography – birds and aerial obstacles
