Arctic Research Seminar Series
Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS)
The Arctic R esearch Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) invites registration for the next Ar ctic Research Seminar featuring Tobias (Toby) Schwoerer (International Arct ic Research Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks). Dr. Schwoerer's presen tation, titled Batten Down the Hatches: Community Science for Informed Response at the Arctic Invasion Front, will be held via Zoom on Wednes day, 11 May 2022 at 9:00 a.m. AKDT (1:00 p.m. EDT).
Seminar A bstract:
The Arctic is undergoing large-scale accelerating c hanges including the introduction and expansion of invasive species. We are in a unique position to prevent new introductions and spread of existing i nvaders by adopting policies and actions aimed at prevention, early detecti on, and rapid response to minimize impacts on ecosystems, communities, food security, and northern economies. But resource managers often face decisio ns without having adequate data and resources at hand. Community science pr esents one way to fill knowledge gaps and inform decisions. This presentati on will showcase examples related to freshwater aquatic invasive species ma nagement in Alaska aimed at understanding the long-distance pathways, human -induced spread, and informing agency prioritization with applied economics . Implications for Arctic conservation policy and future research needs wil l be discussed.
Registration is required for thi s event. Instructions for accessing the webinar will be sent to regist rants prior to the event.
