About the Speaker
Bethany Schulze is the field and analysis lead for the Pacific Offshore Bat Project for U.S. Geological Survey – Western Ecological Research Center, along with a small team of dedicated bat ecologists. Her team’s research aims to answer questions about bat migration and roosting ecology of bats in the Western US. Bethany began studying bats in 2016, transforming her childhood curiosity of bats and ecology into passion for a career in research. In addition to studying offshore migration, she is also completing a master’s thesis on hoary bat foraging activity across urban-natural habitat gradients through California State University, Monterey Bay.
