The Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center (PI-CASC) is thrilled to once again host the Graduate Student Research Symposium on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, a preconference event at the 16th University of Guam (UOG) Conference on Island Sustainability.
The symposium will bring together graduate students from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, and UOG to share progress on their research projects across a range of topics, including coral reef management, invasive species, native bird populations, and remote sensing technologies to aid natural resource management.
“This symposium is an opportunity to exchange locally relevant research to our islands’ unique environmental issues, from wildfire damage to coastal inundation to species conservation. We are excited to showcase the different PI-CASC student fellowship programs across the Pacific, and we encourage everyone to come by, listen, and provide feedback to help our students fine-tune their research,” said Dr. Ryan Longman, PI-CASC University Consortium Program Director.
The symposium is free and open to the public for in-person or online attendance. Lunch will also be provided to in-person attendees at 12 p.m. (limited to the first 60 registrants). Register at bit.ly/SymposiumCIS25 to reserve space or to receive a link to the event livestream.
The 16th UOG Conference on Island Sustainability is an annual gathering for researchers, policymakers, and community members dedicated to building a more sustainable future for island communities. It will be held at the Hyatt Regency Guam on April 7-12, 2025. For more information and to register for the conference, visit uog.edu/cis2025.
