 | | Hale, who works in the UNH Complex Systems Research Center, within the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space, says past surveys of the White Mountain National Forest will be augmented by data collected on-site this summer. |
 | | Hale and his team will not only measure forest characteristics -- going so far as to count individual trees in an area -- but also match what they find with existing satellite imagery charts, thereby assessing what changes, if any, can be found in the state's spruce fir regions. |
 | | The result of Hale's work will be maps of suitable Bicknell's thrush habitats, which can be used for research on the bird's reproduction, migration and also as a baseline for future research. |
