WINDSCAPES: A Global Perspective on Wind Power

A talk by Dr. Firooza Pavri, was co-hosted by Anodyne Bookstore, the Parsonage Gallery and the Maine North Atlantic Institute, University of Southern Maine. 

The talk provided a global context for the discourse about the future of wind power in Maine. It was scheduled in conjunction with the Intersecting Ecologies exhibition and had special relevance to the Searsport community and a proposed wind port on Sears Island. 

Dr. Pavri teaches and conducts research in environmental geography, with a focus on society-environment interactions, natural resource conservation & policy, sustainable development, and geospatial technologies, including remote sensing.  More recently her research has explored the socio-economic, environmental, and policy issues related to sustainable wind energy production. She is co-author on a forthcoming book, Wind Energy Landscape: Principles, Techniques, History, under contract with Wiley.
