Are You Using AKN Data? Tell Us How!

Golden Eagle

At the AKN we provide raw avian data resources for scientific research and analysis. In an effort to better understand our audience and our user-base, we'd like to compile an 'AKN Data Use' page that lists all the research projects, conservation efforts, and general data use currently underway at the AKN. Because some datasets are freely available to the public, we don't have a complete list of projects that are using those data. If you are using the AKN dataset for your research project, please tell us more about it!

The AKN is a consortium of partner organizations that wish to make their data (or part of their data) available to the public in an effort to promote cross-dataset analysis with the goal of gaining a better understanding of bird populations at large spatio-temporal scales.  Our partners have created an interoperable data exchange format called the Bird Monitoring Data Exchange (BMDE) to facilitate data sharing.  Many of the AKN data resources of fully available for download and analysis by the public through the BMDE.  

If you would like your project, organization, or institution to be listed on the upcoming 'AKN Data Use' page, please tell us about yourself, and your project by answering these simple questions below. Please send the response in an email to us at bls42@cornell.edu.
