New methods make tracking individual bird species during migration possible
Researchers at Cornell Lab of Ornithology, University of Massachusetts and University of Illinois have developed breakthrough methods to track the migration of individual bird species by combining participatory science data with weather radar technology. This advancement addresses a long-standing limitation in migration monitoring: While radar can detect birds in flight, it cannot identify which species are migrating.
The science section covers breakthroughs in medicine, physics, biology, and technology. We surface discoveries that expand what humanity can do, from new treatments reaching clinical trials to engineering feats that seemed impossible a decade ago.
