As VP in an environment and energy corporate division and university senior researcher, Bonnie is advising clients on environmental regulations, effective siting strategies, and community engagement around renewable energies, particularly wind energy on land and at sea and water and tidal power projects in the US and the EU. Research interests focus on multidisciplinary projects relating to ecology, technology, and society for non-governmental groups, universities, corporate and government sectors---with local, national and international organizations. Ram's recent experiences include 2 years working at the Danish Technical University to build a multidisciplinary social science program around wind energy developments. Action research focuses on effective ways to build capacity and communicate about offshore wind projects with local host communities and developers in two-way knowledge exchanges that help to translate risks, benefits and uncertainties for stakeholders.
