Software for a national model of bat fatalities at wind facilities (version 1.0.0)

May 8, 2025
This repository contains the code for modeling and analysis of bat fatality data at a sample of wind turbine facilities across the United States. The software is written in R and includes hierarchical Bayesian n-mixture models implemented in JAGS to predict bat fatalities across wind facilities retrospectively from 2001-2024 and under future potential wind development build-out scenarios across the U.S. Some data are not included directly in this repository due to proprietary business confidential rights/restrictions.
