The Ecological Forecasting Initiative and the ESA Statistical Ecology Section are hosting Dr. Théo Michelot for the February call in the Statistical Methods Seminar Series. Théo Michelot – Dr. Michelot is a postdoctoral researcher in statistics at the Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (CREEM) at the University of St. Andrews. Dr. Michelot is developing flexible stochastic differential equation models, and using them as continuous-time models of animal movement and behaviour. Additional research interests include hidden Markov models and applications in ecology and statistical software development.
Tuesday, Feb., 8, 2022 from 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET Hosted by the Conservation Education and Outreach Working Group Most wildlife professionals recognize that outreach is important, whether for reducing human-wildlife conflicts, sharing the newest science, encouraging wise stewardship of natural resources, or creating opportunities for people to explore and connect with nature. But for the professionals highlighted in this webinar, outreach isn’t just a nice touch at the end of a project – it IS the project! “Faces of Outreach” will share brief overviews from 6 outreach professionals, 2 each from extension, state agencies, and non-profit organizations. Then stick with us for the rest of the year as we take a closer look at the methods each of these professionals use to effectively provide outreach about wildlife and natural resources to a diversity of audiences.
Climate change impacts both host plants and insects leading to changes in human and animal migration, disease patterns, and food production. Changes such as these often increase inequity among social groups. Whether in the area of vector-borne disease or food production, can entomolgy work to lessen inequity caused by climate change locally and globally? What are the roles and responsibilities of entomologists? Drs. C. Ben Beard and Emily Meineke will provide their insight.
An American Society of Agronomy and Soil Science Society of America webinar sponsored by Koch Agronomic Services.
Date: Thursday, February 24, 2022 Time: 12:00 Noon-1:00 PM Eastern/11:00 AM-12:00 Noon Central/10:00-11:00 AM Mountain/9:00-10:00 AM Pacific
Urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) is an excellent source of nitrogen for crops. Yet even though it is widely used across the globe, risks and mitigation strategies for UAN loss are often poorly understood. With high input costs, it is important to understand how nitrogen fertilizers behave in the field. This webinar will review UAN’s applications and functions, its composition, and its nitrogen loss risks. It will also review how to protect a UAN fertilizer investment and make successful nitrogen management decisions.
One excellent tool for finding webinars and seminars, conferences and other events is the Ecology Seminars website/newsletter managed by Jonathan Clegg. It includes virtual events and in-person, from hour-long presentations to week-long conferences.
