Lucas Savoy joined BRI in 2000 as a wildlife research biologist. Early in his tenure, he focused primarily on Common Loon contaminant and breeding ecology field studies across North America, while also developing an interest in waterfowl conservation.
As BRI’s deputy director, and with more than 22 years of hands-on bird research experience, he continues to build BRI’s loon program and to develop partnerships with a focus on loon conservation in North America and internationally. His primary research studies have included the exposure and risks of contaminants to water birds, and the migratory and seasonal movements of marine birds in relation to offshore wind power developments.
