SUMMARY:A Match Made in Heaven?– Integrating Climate Change into Hazard Mitigation Planning
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Date:  February 27\, 2020 \nTime: 2pm ET/11am PT \nRegister HERE \nAbstract: The field of emergency management has been helping communities assess\, plan for\, and respond to extreme weather events and other disasters for decades. However\, the approaches developed to help communities assess the risk and the potential impacts of extreme weather events have rarely been updated to include climate change. While requirements at the local level vary state by state\, there is an opportunity to mainstream adaptation planning and preparedness into the hazard mitigation process. If only we can find ways to effectively merge these two fields and ensure that communities are planning and preparing for both current and future hazards. This webinar brings together representatives of different agencies and organizations to discuss the opportunities and challenges of climate-smart hazard planning and provide examples of where and how disaster preparedness is being used to improve resilience across the country. \nSpeakers: \nEric Chapman\, Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians \nJonathan Olds\, FEMA- Region 10 \nSascha Petersen\, Adaptation International \nMore information.

SUMMARY:SCGIS Webinar: Wildlife Insights: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Conservation
DESCRIPTION:A New Platform to Automate and Analyze Camera Trap Big Data \nRegister here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/2111627876373036812 \nDate/time: Wednesday\, November 20th at 11am PT/ 2pm ET \nPresenters: Jonathan Palmer\, Executive Director of Strategic Technology\, Wildlife Conservation Society and Li Ling Choo\, Global Strategic Technology Manager\, Wildlife Conservation Society \nDescription: Wildlife is an essential component of all ecosystems. Yet most places around the world do not have local information on which species are present or how their populations are changing.  \nCamera traps have become a widely used and an effective way to collect wildlife data. Every year\, thousands of cameras are set\, capturing millions of images. However\, wildlife managers and researchers using camera traps are frequently overwhelmed and burdened by the task of managing\, processing and analyzing large volumes of camera trap data leaving the majority of data underutilized. Additionally\, many of these efforts occur in isolation\, further limiting the impact they could have on a global understanding of wildlife population health.  Wildlife Insights is a new wildlife monitoring platform that provides reliable and timely information about wildlife populations so that wildlife managers to help anticipate threats and take action to do their jobs effectively. By bringing together cutting-edge artificial intelligence for species recognition\, access to the world’s largest database of camera trap images\, and automated analytics\, Wildlife Insights helps protected areas and other stakeholders understand where and why wildlife populations are changing.   Co-Authors and Citation: Ahumada JA\, Fegraus E\, Birch T\, Flores N\, Kays R\, O’Brien TG\, Palmer J\, Schuttler S\, Zhao JY\, Jetz W\, Kinnaird M\, Kulkarni S\, Lyet A\, Thau D\, Duong M\, Oliver R\, and Dancer A (2019) Wildlife Insights: A Platform to Maximize the Potential of Camera Trap and Other Passive Sensor Wildlife Data for the Planet.

SUMMARY:SCGIS Webinar: A Spatial Planning Tool for Biodiversity Conservation under Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/6100367989897848844 \nDate/time: Thursday Nov. 14th at 10am PT/ 1pm ET \nPresenter: Andrew Shirk\, Research Scientist at Climate Impacts Group\, University of Washington \nDescription: The Cascadia Partner Forum (CPF) is a network of natural resource practitioners in Washington and British Columbia. A primary goal of the partnership is to provide an regional-scale organizational framework to conserve Cascadia’s biodiversity\, which is under threat from an expanding human footprint and a changing climate. The partner forum has developed a climate adaptation strategy that seeks to foster greater coordination across land manager boundaries and provide a timely and up-to-date regional perspective to inform local land-use decisions. A key component of this strategy is a spatial planning tool that will monitor regional habitat conditions\, project future habitat conditions given projections of climate change and land-use\, and prioritize the landscape for conservation. The tool uses the Google Earth Engine platform and associated Google Cloud technologies to provide automated and dynamically updated models of landcover\, habitat conditions\, habitat connectivity\, as well as natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Andrew Shirk (University of Washington Climate Impacts Group)\, a member of the Cascadia Partner Forum and the lead developer of this tool\, will discuss the tool’s technologies\, how it is being applied to Cascadia\, and how it can be applied to other regions at up to global scales.   \nCBI presents this webinar in partnership with the Society for Conservation GIS (SCGIS).

SUMMARY:SCGIS Webinar: Geospatial Conservation at The Nature Conservancy
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/751869542883725324Date/time: Thursday Nov. 7th at 10am PT/ 1pm ET \nPresenter: Zach Ferdaña\, Geospatial Information Officer\, The Nature Conservancy Project Co-Authors: Jeff Zurakowski\, Geospatial Systems Architect; Jan Slaats\, Geospatial Application Engineer; Francesco Tonini \, Geospatial Data Scientist; Craig Cheeseman\, Geospatial Systems Specialist \nDescription: The mission of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Operating in 72 countries with more than 600 scientists\, we are tackling the most pressing threats to nature and people in freshwater\, ocean and coast\, and terrestrial environments. GIS and remote sensing have informed TNC’s conservation science approaches for decades. At least one in every three Conservancy staff uses maps for conservation planning and action activities\, whether to monitor preserves\, negotiate land and water transactions\, or develop global ecosystem services analyses. Now\, with the launch of this first ever Geospatial @ TNC annual report\, we are at a pivotal and exciting time. This webinar is designed to (a) provide snapshots of some of the Conservancy’s 2019 geospatial work\, (b) present “use cases” that illustrate some of the ways that technology supports conservation\, and (c) examine emerging opportunities where TNC can best leverage geospatial technology to protect\, conserve and restore ecosystems around the globe. CBI presents this webinar in partnership with the Society for Conservation GIS (SCGIS).

SUMMARY:New Tools for Identifying and Prioritizing Range-Shifting Invasive Plants
DESCRIPTION:DescriptionJoin Jenica Allen and Bethany Bradley to learn about new tools for identifying and prioritizing range-shifting invasive plants coming soon to a landscape near you. Whether you’re a property owner\, land manager\, landscape professional\, or policymaker\, these tools are for you. Drs. Allen and Bradley will provide a live demonstration of the tools and answer your questions about how climate change could influence invasive plants. \nPresentersDr. Jenica Allen is the Campus Living Laboratory Manager at Mount Holyoke College. Her quantitative ecology work is focused on forecasting the effects of global change on ecological systems. Recent research investigated how climate and land use change affect the geographic distributions of invasive plants\, both in the Northeastern U.S. and nationally. She uses a translational ecology model\, where stakeholders inform research needs and research findings are translated to stakeholder-relevant tools\, through the Northeast Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change (RISCC) Management Network. \nDr. Bethany Bradley is an Associate Professor of Biogeography and Invasion Ecology in the Department of Environmental Conservation at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is interested in how the geographical locations of species across landscapes and regions can inform ecological understanding of species distributions\, invasion risk assessments\, and conservation planning. Her research has a strong focus on terrestrial plant invasions\, with a goal of understanding how invasion risk varies spatially in the context of anthropogenic disturbance and climate change. Dr. Bradley also leads the Northeast Regional Invasive Species & Climate Change (RISCC) Management network\, which addresses the question of how we can better manage for upcoming biological invasions in light of climate change. \nRegisterCan’t attend live?

SUMMARY:SCGIS Webinar: Conservation Prioritization using Network Flow
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5511631190270087180 \nDate/time: Thursday\, October 17th at 10am PT/ 1pm ET \nPresenters: Patrick Roehrdanz\, Moore Center for Science\, Conservation International and Derek Corcoran\, Departamento de Ecología\, Pontificia Universidad Católica de ChileDescription: In this webinar\, presenters will discuss Conservation Prioritization using Network Flow (CPNF). CPNF provides a way to identify the best areas that are needed to ensure continued protection for a suite of species under climate change – at a minimum cost for all species over the specified time period. \nThe user defines the costs associated with moving across a contiguous landscape. The costs are species specific and reflect the species ability to disperse. The cost can represent total area of land needed to achieve conservation targets\, but it can also represent land acquisition costs or measures of habitat integrity. CPNF solutions show the specific areas required to ensure connectivity of suitable habitat over space and time\, and the analysis is constrained by assumptions of a species ability to disperse.  \nEssential connectivity chains identified by CPNF that are not currently within conserved areas represent potential focal areas for conservation action to adapt a conservation portfolio to projected climate change. The user can search CPNF to understand which species contribute most to the solution for any defined focal area. Additionally\, CPNF can also prioritize conservation sites (i.e.\, produce an irreplaceability index) for all possible chains rather than the optimal solution. \nCBI presents this webinar in partnership with the Society for Conservation GIS (SCGIS).

SUMMARY:Assessing Climate Change Threats and Actions in Northeast State Wildlife Action Plans
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 16\, 2019 – 12:00pmEastern Daylight TimeSpeaker: Karen Terwilliger\, Terwilliger Consulting\, Inc. \nWebinar Information:Click here to join the webinar – you may join 15 minutes early.Meeting Number: 198478199. This meeting does not require a password or registration. \nOver the last year\, a Northeast Climate Change Working Group was established to guide project efforts and provide regional exchange of current information and priorities to and from state fish and wildlife agencies.  Monthly coordination with states provided NECASC (and other regional partner) updates to state fish and wildlife agency State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) coordinators and members of the Northeast Fish and Wildlife Diversity Technical Committee (NEFWDTC).  Information on their climate change needs was solicited monthly as we facilitated discussion on current state efforts and needs.  Follow up with individual state staff provided more detailed information.  Together with the results of the SWAP Synthesis (of the 14 State Wildlife Action Plans)\, as well as the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agency (AFWA) national survey\, we continued to identify barriers and needs for climate change information in the northeast.   We presented this information monthly\, and at fall 2018 and 2019 spring annual meetings of Northeast Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (NEAFWA) conference and the NEFWDTC committee meeting in order to refine and summarize their needs. \nResults from the 2018-2019 coordination with states and detailed review of the 2018 AFWA national survey indicate that northeast states highest priority information needs include terrestrial and aquatic habitat connectivity and conservation\, invasive species\, and sea level rise. Adaptive capacity and tracking of phenology\, precipitation\, temperature changes drought\, water quality/quantity\, and effectiveness measures and recreational values are all identified as information needs as well.  Northeast states indicated that their lowest priority climate-related information needs were fire and green infrastructure\, although specific questions about solar installations displacing natural wildlife habitats are emerging. \nNortheast states indicate that lack of staff time\, expertise\, capacity and funding are the key barriers inhibiting development and implementation of adaptation efforts.  They most wanted climate change information delivered via syntheses products as well as workshops/webinars and local training.  Northeast states indicated that at least half the states had conducted species and/or habitat vulnerability assessments and incorporated CC adaptation into agency management plans\, primarily the SWAP. We also learned that the 14 northeast states rely heavily on NECASC for CC information.  Specifically\, multiple states expressed use of the 2015 DOI Northeast Climate Science Center report (Staudinger et al. 2015) and all referred to it in their 2015 SWAP revisions. \nKaren Terwilliger\, a career natural resource professional with 40 years of experience working in the federal\, state\, and private sectors received the 2019 Robert McDowell Award for Conservation Management Excellence\, the highest honor awarded by the Northeast Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Ms. Terwilliger is the founder and principal of Terwilliger Consulting\, Inc.\, based in Virginia\, on the Delmarva Peninsula. Karen has offered her expertise and leadership to numerous organizations including The Wildlife Society\, the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies\, and her local land trust. She has developed 5 states’ wildlife action plans and has led or made significant contributions to the production of numerous comprehensive conservation plans on behalf of states in the Northeast and country. Her most recent projects include developing Regional Species of Conservation need for both the Northeast and Southeast\, encompassing 29 states as well as promoting the inclusion of climate change adaptation strategies at multiple planning levels.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Climate Adaptation for DoD Resource Managers
DESCRIPTION:Title: Climate Adaptation for DoD Resource ManagersDate: Tuesday\, October 8\, 2019 (1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET)Presented By: Dr. Bruce Stein\, Chief Scientist and Associate Vice President\, National Wildlife Federation \nIn June 2019\, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment signed a memo releasing the new guide on Climate Adaptation for DoD Natural Resource Managers. The National Wildlife Federation and Naval Information Warfare Systems Command worked together to develop this guide that is based on the widely used “climate smart conservation” framework. The guide provides an overview of how a changing climate may affect military lands and other resources and offers a step-by-step process to incorporate adaptation strategies into Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs). DoD Instruction 4715.03 requires DoD natural resources managers to incorporate climate adaptation strategies into installation INRMPs\, but there are few tools outside of this newly released guide that are available to help them do this. This webinar will introduce overarching principles for climate adaptation\, describe key climate impacts to DoD natural resources programs and INRMP elements\, and provide an overview of the six-step INRMP adaptation planning cycle. To view the guide\, memo\, and other materials\, visit https://www.denix.osd.mil/nr/dodadaptationguide/. \nTo join the webinar\, go to: https://dodnatres.adobeconnect.com/webinarseries/ Conference Number: 1-877-885-1087 Participant Code: 713-286-7186 \nIf you have never attended an Adobe Connect meeting or just want to test your connection prior to the webinar\, visit: https://dodnatres.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm \nAdobe Connect has a maximum attendance capacity of 100 users. We advise users in the same office building to attend as a group to ensure as many users can join this webinar as possible. If you are unable to join the webinar\, we will post a recording on the NR Program web portal at: http://www.dodnaturalresources.net/Webinar-Series.html

SUMMARY:Enhancing Marine Weather Awareness using Crowd-Sourced Observations from Mobile Devices
DESCRIPTION:OneNOAA Science Seminar Series \nSponsors: NOAA Central Library and the NOAA Technology Partnerships Office (TPO) as part of the NOAA Innovators Series. \nPOC: Tiffany House\, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Commercialization Specialist\,  (tiffany.house@noaa.gov)Join us on the webinar: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8960343963276030977 \nSpeakers: Jerry Bieszczad and Marc Shapiro\, Creare \nAbstract: Creare has developed an Android/iOS smartphone app (WeatherCitizen) for collecting and distributing crowd-sourced environmental observations in a marine environment. In collaboration with Stony Brook University\, we recently performed a field trial of WeatherCitizen on Long Island Sound collecting observations from 10+ geospatially distributed mobile devices and disseminating data-driven insights in real-time. This presentation will provide an overview of the development and deployment of WeatherCitizen\, an overview of the Long Island Sound field trial\, and the roadmap of WeatherCitizen into the future. \nAbout the Speakers: Jerry Bieszczad is the Principal Investigator of this NOAA SBIR Phase II effort.  At Creare\, Dr. Bieszczad leads a wide range of projects investigating the use of mobile devices as crowd-sourced observational platforms; serverless cloud computing for earth science data analytics; and scientific and geospatial software design and development. \nMarc Shapiro is the lead software architect for this NOAA SBIR Phase II effort.  At Creare\, Mr. Shapiro is the lead software developer on multiple projects aimed at providing mobile-based tools for data collection\, aggregation and distribution. These efforts include a flexible\, cross-platform mobile framework for administering hearing assessments and training and an Android based platform for crowd sourcing local environmental conditions based on mobile device sensors. \nSubscribe to the OneNOAA Science Seminar weekly email: Send an email to OneNOAAscienceseminars-request@list.woc.noaa.gov with the word `subscribe’ in the subject or body.

SUMMARY:Estimating Fish and Invertebrate Production Associated with Key Coastal Habitats in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:To what degree do oyster reef\, seagrass bed\, and salt marsh habitats contribute to the abundance of fish and invertebrate species in the U.S.? What biological and environmental factors have the greatest influence on this production for each habitat?    \nOn Tuesday\, August 6 at 3:00 pm Eastern time/12:00 pm Pacific time\, the Lenfest Ocean Program will host a webinar introducing a new project to examine these questions. Our speakers will include: •    Bryan DeAngelis\, The Nature Conservancy•    Dr. Philine zu Ermgassen\, The University of Edinburgh•    Dr. Jonathan Grabowski\, Northeastern University \nThis information could improve the ability of managers to target habitat restoration\, conservation\, and fisheries management measures to maximize ecosystem productivity and economic benefits.
