SUMMARY:NISAW Webinar: Strengthening Pacific Island Biosecurity: Insights to Slow the Spread of Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informative webinar exploring strategies to protect Pacific Island ecosystems from invasive species. Experts will share insights into Pacific Islands Biosecurity\, explore the unique and important roles and challenges of Pacific Islands in preventing the spread of invasive species\, discuss efforts to build resilience through regional networks\, and present cutting-edge techniques like Strawberry Guava detection using aerial imagery and LiDAR data on Hawaiʻi Island. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Elliott Parsons\, Specialist\, Pacific Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change Management Network\, Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa \n\n\n\nDr. Elliott Parsons is a specialist with the Pacific Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change (Pacific RISCC) Management Network at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. He has worked with Pacific RISCC since 2022\, and he has almost 15 years of experience working in conservation\, management\, and research in Hawaiʻi. Dr. Parsons holds a Ph.D. in Fish & Wildlife Biology from the University of Montana and a B.A. in Anthropology at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, and he most recently led the Nāpuʻu Conservation Project (NCP) at Puʻuwaʻawaʻa in North Kona for 12 years for the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources. In addition to his conservation work\, Dr. Parsons taught both undergraduate and graduate wildlife science courses at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo between 2016 and 2023. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOlivia Jarvis\, Graduate Student at University of Hawai‘i at Hilo\, Research Assistant at the Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization (SDAV) LabOlivia Jarvis is currently a graduate student at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo pursuing her Master’s of Science degree in Tropical Biology and Environmental Science. She recently earned her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Environmental Science from UH Hilo in 2022. Olivia’s thesis work is focused on exploring remote sensing methods such as RGB aerial imagery and LiDAR data to detect invasive strawberry guava trees on Hawai‘i Island. She is also currently working as a research assistant for the Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization lab at UH Hilo with her advisor Dr. Ryan Perroy. She supports other remote sensing work including photogrammetry with imagery taken via small unmanned aerial systems and helicopters\, invasive species detection with object detection machine learning\, and the deployment and monitoring of biocontrol for strawberry guava trees.
