I do consulting when it doesn’t conflict with my teaching schedule. My areas of particular expertise are (1) modeling terrain updraft patterns and eagle flight paths at wind energy farms to inform turbine siting and operation related to eagle collision risk, and (2) assistance with runoff and stormwater management issues.

Contact me at brandesd@lafayette.edu for more info.
