Supercomputers Map Out Super Endangered Species In 3-D

Figure 5. MKDEs may help better identify threats to species. 

In 2007, a subadult female condor made an exploratory movement through a proposed wind energy development (A). The proposed wind turbine locations are shown in yellow, and the 99% contour for the condor is shown in red. When approximating the condor's move path by linearly interpolating between observed locations (red lines, A & B), the path passes through the proposed locations of the wind turbines (B). The 3D models of 120 wind turbines are shown (B) in their proposed locations and size.
