SUMMARY:Science for Natural Resource Stewardship with Dr. Ray Sauvajot
DESCRIPTION:The Key Role of Partnerships and Collaboration in National Parks\nJoin us Wednesday\, October 9th from 7:00pm – 8:30pm for the 2024 Acadia National Park Science Symposium evening lecture\, featuring keynote speaker Ray Sauvajot\, Ph.D.\, Associate Director for Natural Resource Stewardship and Science for the National Park Service. \nDuring his presentation\, Dr. Ray Sauvajot will highlight some of the major natural resource challenges and concerns facing the National Park System and how our response to these challenges requires embracing scientific partnerships and working together at broad scales. He will discuss climate change\, landscape and seascape conservation\, and the critical role that parks play as catalysts for stewardship solutions and collaborative science – a collaboration that is essential for the National Park Service to succeed in its conservation and preservation mission. \nABOUT RAY SAUVAJOT\nDr. Ray Sauvajot serves as Associate Director for Natural Resource Stewardship and Science for the National Park Service (NPS)\, where he provides leadership and direction for natural resource management and science programs of the NPS. As Associate Director\, Ray oversees national programs in biology\, air and water resources\, climate change response\, geology\, natural sounds and night skies\, environmental quality and compliance\, ecological inventory and monitoring\, and science communication. Ray leads a diverse team of scientists\, policy experts\, planners\, program managers\, administrators\, and technicians at offices in Washington\, D.C.\, Colorado\, and other locations to help advance the mission of the NPS. Ray has served in positions with the NPS for over 30 years and has also held adjunct faculty appointments in biology\, ecology\, and environmental science at UC Berkeley\, UC Los Angeles\, and California State University Northridge. Ray received a B.A. degree in biology from UC San Diego (1987) and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees (1993\, 1997) in ecology from UC Davis. \nABOUT THE 2024 ACADIA NATIONAL PARK SCIENCE SYMPOSIUM\n\nHosted by Schoodic Institute and the National Park Service\, the Acadia National Park Science Symposium provides a forum to learn about science taking place in the region and to interact and build collaborations with scientists\, educators\, students\, park staff\, and others working in a range of fields. You can learn more about the science symposium here. \nThe theme of this year’s symposium is 25 Years of Impactful Research in Acadia National Park. The symposium will highlight some of the most influential science\, science communication\, and education that has happened in Acadia National Park since the start of the Research Learning Center (RLC) 25 years ago. In 2000\, the National Park Service began working with community members to create an RLC on the campus of the former Navy Base in Winter Harbor. The goal of Schoodic Institute (Acadia’s Research Learning Center) is to help grow science in national parks and better connect science with management\, education\, and communication. Since the establishment of Schoodic Institute\, the amount of annual research in the park has increased more than threefold. This year’s science symposium will highlight some of the most influential examples of research\, education\, and communication that has happened over that time. \nThe symposium will take place in-person at Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus (Winter Harbor\, ME) and online via Zoom. This virtual option is open to speakers and attendees alike. Please note that there will be overnight accommodations available. Lunch will be included in registration\, as well as coffee and morning snacks.

SUMMARY:Intertidal Research in Acadia
DESCRIPTION:Schoodic Institute and Acadia National Park invite you to a virtual session of the Acadia National Park Science Symposium on intertidal research in the park. Four sessions with a panel of invited speakers will discuss National Park Service priorities\, broad scale research across the intertidal zone\, research specific to the rocky intertidal\, and research specific to the soft sediment intertidal. There will be a question and answer discussion at the conclusion of each session. \nThe intertidal zone of Acadia National Park has attracted researchers for over a century. In 2021 alone Acadia National Park issued 21 research permits for people to collect and share data about Acadia’s intertidal zone. In the summer of 2021 a summer intern scoured park resources to compile 7\,781 unique observations of algae\, invertebrates\, fish\, and other intertidal organisms—observations spanning from 1903 to 2018. The intertidal of Acadia National Park is perhaps the park’s most threatened ecosystem\, facing a hash of discordant stresses. How can science help the park manage for the threats\, while the park also acts as a place for researchers to better understand the very role and nature of the intertidal? During this symposium we will hear from researchers and managers dedicated to the twin goals of “Science for Parks” and “Parks for Science”–we hope you can join us. \nVenue – The event will be held virtually via Zoom.\nAgenda – View the draft agenda.\nDeadlines for registration – Registration for the symposium will close at 5 p.m.\, Tuesday\, March 1.\nQuestions – For more information\, contact Shannon O’Brien at sobrien@schoodicinstitute.org \nLoading…
