Johann Köppel is a full professor at the Berlin Institute of Technology (Germany) and head of the Environmental Assessment and Planning (Research Group) (www.umweltpruefung.tu-berlin.de). He specializes in impact assessments, and has been involved in the sustainable development of wind energy since more than a decade. He served in CWW’s scientific committees since 2011 and hosted the CWW2015 conference in Berlin. Current relevant research focuses on a horizon scan as far as ‘emerging issues’ for future research and applications are concerned. Contact: johann.koeppel@tu-berlin.de

“This book covers 16 research papers in 7 sections over 289 pages, matching the main themes of the conference, and providing a global focus that is warmly welcomed. … the reader will not be disappointed by the diversity and breadth of issues covered, and the Editor and contributing authors should be congratulated on a significant advancement to our understanding of the impacts of wind farms on wildlife.” (Chris B. Thaxter, Bird Study, 2017)
