In this talk, Dr. Jeff Burgett will discuss a new decision support framework for conservation introductions, the process used to develop it, and how we can ensure decisions to move species are inclusive, transparent, and defensible.
PI-RISCC
Pacific Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change Management Program
In this talk, Dr. David Pompeani with UH Mānoa, NREM Department will share his recent research on a network of new sedimentary charcoal archives which records the last 2,000 years of fire history across the Hawaiian Islands.
In this talk, Erica Gallerani and Dr. Lucas Fortini will talk about a new approach for assessing the potential for relocating populations of ʻākohekohe (Palmeria dolei) to higher elevations on the island of Hawaiʻi from the island of Maui because of the harmful impacts of climate-driven disease spread.
In this talk, Dr. Alison Ainsworth will discuss the implications for conservation of Hawaiian high-elevation ecosystems in the face of both climate change and invasive species.
In this talk, Dr. Aaron Shiels will present the results of a study on the impacts of hurricanes on invasive rodents in the Caribbean Islands, and he will discuss invasive rodent impacts and control methods in both the Caribbean and Pacific Islands.
In this talk, Dr. Richard MacKenzie will present his research on the vulnerability of Pacific Island nations to climate change and how appropriate adaptation actions can increase the resilience of mangroves and thus the resilience of Pacific Islanders.
In this webinar, Dr. Jonathan Price from the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo will discuss how modeling vegetation communities in Hawaiʻi can be used to inform restoration, invasive species management, and climate change.
Pacific RISCC October Webinar – Seedlings: A Window into Climate Change Impacts on Plant Populations
In this webinar, Dr. Kasey Barton, from the University of Hawaiʻi School of Life Sciences, will discuss seedling drought and salinity tolerance across a diverse range of native and invasive Hawaiian plants and climate change implications.
The September 2023 Pacific RISCC webinar featured a presentation on the changes in vegetation observed in Hawaiʻi from 2010-2019 by the USFS Forest Inventory & Analysis Program.
The July 2023 Pacific RISCC webinar will feature a presentation on the critical connection between groundwater dependent ecosystems of macroalgae in Kona, Hawaiʻi, and the effects of climate change on those systems.
