The Canadian Risk and Hazard Network (CRHNet), in partnership with the
Arctic Observing Network (AON) and Applied Research in Environmental
Sciences, Nonprofit, Inc. (ARIES), announce availability of a webinar,
entitled "Historical Ecology for Risk Management: Youth Sustainability."
The webinar will include a 30-minute question and answer session, is
free of charge, and is scheduled for Wednesday, 22 October 2014 from
2:00 pm to 3:00 pm (EDT).
For information on how to connect to the webinar, please contact Anne
Garland (awhgarland [at] yahoo.com).
This webinar will provide an overview of Historical Ecology for Risk
Management: Youth Sustainability (HERMYS) and include discussion around
risk and disaster management related questions regarding needs for more
applied research with local communities to assist operations,
regulations, and management; interdisciplinary research across social
and natural sciences; and integration across jurisdictions (interagency
and regional partnerships). Discussion questions include:
- Are the priorities for research networks different from those for
operational, community, regulatory, and management observing systems?
Can the two be resolved or shared? Should they be? - How do we bridge the gap in funding between social science and natural
science observations and observing networks? - How to best employ interagency and regional partnerships? What role
should regional centers play in directing observing activity?
This webinar is also the first of a five-part special session series,
"Promoting Aboriginal Resilience: Sharing Knowledge to Increase Disaster
Risk Reduction," being presented during the CRHNet annual conference
convening in Toronto, Canada. Objectives of those sessions and this
webinar include developing an Arctic communities network for comparison
and integration of risk management.
As an example, AIRES, the Barrow Arctic Science Consortium, the North
Slope Borough Risk Management, Tuzzy Consortia Library, and the
Cooperative Extension of Ilisgavik College are collaborating to plan,
develop, and implement a historical ecology model for the North Slope
Coastal Region of Alaska. Historical ecology is an applied research
program that focuses on interactions of people and their environments.
Research applications involve studying and understanding this
relationship in both time and space to gain a full picture of all of its
accumulated effects. The research program can be applied to
understanding changes among community landscapes that can assist
strategies for the future.
