Bradford Seminar: “Biodiversity on the Move: The Ecology and Conservation of Migratory Birds”

Tong Mu, Associate Research Scholar at the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment, will present “Biodiversity on the Move: The Ecology and Conservation of Migratory Birds.” This seminar will be held in-person (PUID holders only) and available via livestream (open to all).

Mu is an Associate Research Scholar at the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment at Princeton University. His research focuses on the ecology and conservation of migratory species, pursuing ecological questions with direct conservation and policy implications. Combining field observation, satellite tracking, and mathematical modeling, he studies how the patterns in habitat use, habitat heterogeneity, and migration strategies jointly affect the vulnerability of migratory birds to habitat loss and other anthropogenic threats from both local to global scales, which have facilitated policy changes and on-the-ground conservation practices at local, national, and international levels. Prior to Princeton, Tong received his B.S. from Peking University, where he became an avid birdwatcher and deeply interested in biodiversity conservation.

This event is part of the David Bradford Energy and Environmental Policy Seminar Series organized by the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment (C-PREE) in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and co-sponsored by the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI).
