Seminar Announcement
"Leveraging quantitative methods and emerging technologies for marine conservation"
Catherine Foley, PhD
Fishery Biologist
Northeast Fisheries Science Center
NOAA Fisheries
Wednesday, February 16, 2022
2:30 pm to 3:30 pm
SMAST East, Rooms 101/102
Also Via Zoom
Abstract:
A lack of available data is often a critical problem in effective environmental decision-making, especially in regions that are inherently dangerous or difficult to access. This seminar will explore how novel quantitative approaches and emerging technologies can be leveraged in data-poor systems to gain insights for environmental management and answer fundamental questions in ecology and conservation. Using case studies from the poles to the tropics, we will explore how remote sensing can be used to monitor populations in inaccessible regions, learn how phenology drives systematic misunderstanding of population dynamics, and how historical records can be used to reconstruct baseline population data. Finally, we will discuss how statistical methods can be used to evaluate controversial environmental policies at the national and international level, thus illustrating the role of quantitative ecology in guiding decision-making.
