Assessing the potential of unoccupied aerial vehicles and deep learning to survey wild turkey populations

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
We flew UAVs with thermal cameras over roost locations of GPS‐tagged wild turkeys to assess the viability of UAVs as a population survey tool. We trained a deep‐learning model to detect and count turkeys in thermal video, and were able to incorporate environmental variables to accurately estimate the number of wild turkeys sampled.

Burning “ExposHome”: Deriving a Mixture of Combustible Materials in American Homes at the Wildland‐Urban Interface for Health Studies

GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Approximately 39% of U.S. homes are now located in the Wildland‐Urban Interface (WUI) and are at elevated risk of burning during wildfires. WUI fires emit a cocktail of chemicals from the combustion of anthropogenic materials, including compounds that may differ from the burning of biogenic‐only materials.
