PNNL

Hayley Farr is an environmental scientist in Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Coastal Sciences Division. She works with researchers, regulators, and other stakeholders through several U.S. and international initiatives (e.g., SEER, OES-Environmental, WREN) to advance wind and marine energy development in an environmentally responsible manner.

Hayley researches and synthesizes key information on the environmental effects of offshore wind and marine energy to facilitate knowledge transfer, inform applicability to U.S. waters, and prioritize future research needs. Additionally, she leads content curation, maintenance, and outreach and engagement for Tethys and Tethys Engineering, and is working to enhance the discoverability and accessibility of marine energy data and information through PRIMRE.

Before joining PNNL, Hayley conducted research on the environmental effects of floating offshore wind energy and compiled data and information to inform future decision-making for offshore wind leasing off the California coast. She holds a BS in Biological Sciences from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
