SUMMARY:Upcoming Talk: Dr. Bridie McGreavy on "Communication Strategies for Successful and Equitable Team Science"
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 7 || Norman Smith Hall ||  2 PM – 3:30 PM  \nMaine’s coasts are rapidly changing\, and aquaculture stands as an important solution to strengthen and transform coastal economies\, communities\, and ecosystems. The development of such socio-technical solutions to complex problems requires an interdisciplinary approach to ensure that the techniques that are developed are based on multiple forms of expertise and are developed in ways that work for diverse stakeholders. Team-based approaches to science can facilitate these interdisciplinary partnerships\, and success in team science requires deliberate design strategies that enable information sharing\, learning\, and equity among partners. \nIn this presentation\, Dr. Bridie McGreavy will draw from her communication research within team science contexts in multiple large-scale sustainability science projects to describe a pragmatic approach to the science of team science. She will share communication design strategies that support the development of organizations that can learn and adapt over time; are based on a culture of collaboration; and that use shared leadership for effective\, inclusive\, and adaptive team science. These strategies include the use of interviews and survey data for organizational decision making; multiple forms of writing to foster interdisciplinary integration and stakeholder partnerships; adaptive governance approaches; and tailored learning activities designed for specific stages in collaborations to advance interdisciplinary research objectives over time. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \n** Refreshments will be provided. \n  \nAbout Dr. McGreavey: \nBridie McGreavy is Assistant Professor of Environmental Communication. Her research addresses how\, through communication\, individuals and communities become resilient and sustainable. She uses ethnographic and mixed methods to study communication within sustainability science teams and coastal and freshwater management contexts. Her research has been published in journals such as Environmental Communication: A Journal of Nature and Culture\, Ecology and Society\, and the International Journal of Sustainable Development. She received National Science Foundation (NSF) fellowships for her dissertation and postdoctoral research which she conducted with Maine’s Sustainability Solutions Initiative and the New England Sustainability Consortium respectively. She is currently a UMaine co-PI on a $6 million grant through NSF’s EPSCoR program to advance a four-year study examining the future of dams in New England. As an environmental communication practitioner\, Bridie served as director of environmental education for fifteen years at two non-profit organizations in Maine and was a 2006 Switzer Environmental Leadership Fellow. She teaches courses in environmental communication\, argument and critical thinking\, communication research\, and sustainability science. She received a Ph.D. in Communication with a concentration in Sustainability Science from the University of Maine. \nClick here to learn more about Dr. McGreavey and her work.

SUMMARY:Upcoming Talk: Dr. Troy Hartley on "Collaboration in Team Science:  I Collobber You\, and You Collobber Me!"
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 22\, 2018 || 2:00 pm || Mitchell Center\, 107 Norman Smith Hall \nWhether it is local\, “wicked” problems that are complex\, challenging\, with multiple feedbacks\, high uncertainty\, and ambiguous solutions\, or NSF’s Grand Societal Challenges\, we are increasingly needing to take multi-\, inter-\, and trans-disciplinary team science approaches to understand and potentially solve these problems. However\, such cross-disciplinary research efforts have struggled for both taskwork and teamwork reasons. An emerging science of team science is producing greater understanding of the team science phenomenon and suggestions for overcoming implementation obstacles. We have been building professional development training to build competencies among coastal and marine STEM doctoral students to be more effective in team science.  This talk will provide an overview of the emerging science of team science and the strategies for improving the effectiveness of multi-\, inter-\, and trans-disciplinary initiatives. \n** This event is free and open to all. \n** Refreshments will be provided. \nAbout Dr. Hartley: \nDr. Hartley’s current interests are in governance networks\, their structure and function\, and the application of governance networks in coastal and marine resource management (e.g.\, fisheries and ecosystem-based management)\, climate adaptation and resilience\, and collaborative\, multi-stakeholder decision-making. Further\, he is interested in the broader applications of social science to improve collaboration\, governance\, management and policy\, team science\, stakeholder engagement\, and collaborative\, trans-disciplinary research. He employs theoretical and analytical frameworks from public policy\, political science\, and communication science. \nVirginia Sea Grant (VASG) \nDr. Hartley also serves as Director of Virginia Sea Grant (VASG). VASG research\, educational\, and outreach activities promoting sustainability and resilience of coastal and marine resources and the communities that depend upon them. This Grant is part a larger national network of Sea Grant programs housed in 33 colleges and universities around the country. The National Sea Grant College Program is a state-federal\, university-based partnership program\, launched by Congress in 1966\, with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration\, or NOAA\, of the U.S. Department of Commerce. \nVirginia Sea Grant is a seven-university partnership\, headquartered at VIMS with William & Mary\, and composed of the University of Virginia\, Virginia Tech\, and George Mason\, James Madison\, Old Dominion\, and Virginia Commonwealth Universities. We advance our mission through an integrated organizational network that promotes coordination and collaboration across institutional\, disciplinary\, and functional boundaries among staff and partners. Our strengths are in education and workforce development\, graduate and post-graduate fellowships and professional development\, and extension and outreach services. We work on fisheries and aquaculture\, coastal community resilience\, literacy\, seafood safety\, and sustainable community development issues. We tackle challenging coastal and marine resource problems in Virginia\, the region\, nation and internationally by employing cutting-edge natural\, social and economic sciences\, as well as legal and policy analysis.

SUMMARY:Upcoming Talk: Dr. Carrie Byron on "Sustainable Ecological Aquaculture"
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, January 29\, 2018 || 12:00 Noon || Margaret Chase Smith\, Conference Hall \nOcean food production in the coastal ocean is far less developed than food production on land. This is good news because it means we can learn from prior mistakes and negative societal perceptions in other systems towards improved sustainability of ocean resources.  Furthermore\, the decreasing availability of arable land necessitates alternative methods of food production to satisfy global population growth. In this talk\, Dr. Carrie Byron will outline the principles of the Blue Revolution and define the Ecological Approach to Aquaculture towards Sustainable Ecological Aquaculture in the coastal ocean. In addition\, she will examine where we are as a growing industry and where we are headed into the future. Throughout\, both ecological capacities and social perceptions are considered in developing sustainable ecological aquaculture practices. \n** This event is free and open to all. \n** Refreshments will be provided. \nAbout Dr. Byron: \nDr. Byron’s research is grounded in marine ecology and integrates an interdisciplinary approach. Research disciplines include aquaculture\, fisheries and coastal management. Previous projects have been based in freshwater\, estuarine and marine habitats including temperate lakes\, Atlantic rocky shorelines\, temperate barrier-beach lagoons\, tropical coral reefs and Pacific glacial fjords. She enjoys working on projects that look at biotic and abiotic dynamics and interactions as they apply to conservation and/or social development issues. Her current research focuses on sustainable ecological aquaculture and food web dynamics in Maine’s coastal waters. \nDr. Byron serves as Assistant Professor at the University of New England’s Marine Science Center in Biddeford\, Maine.

SUMMARY:Upcoming Talk: Dr. Samuel Hanes on "Origins of the Blue Revolution"
DESCRIPTION:December 6 || 12:00pm || 354 Aubert Hall \nWhere and when did the Blue Revolution begin? What controversies did it spawn and what can we learn from them? Aquaculture is ancient\, but marine aquaculture science began on the French coast in 1853\, with E.V. Coste’s extensive oyster farm experiments. These experiments failed\, but on the other side of the Atlantic\, the American oyster aquaculture grew into a large scale industry after 1865. Aquaculture expansion seemed the best cure for rampant over-fishing in the oyster industry. However\, oyster farms often took marine space away from oyster fishermen. This presentation explains how oyster farmers and fishermen solved these conflicts over marine space. \nThis event is free and open to all. Refreshments will be provided. \nFor more information\, please contact Meggan Dwyer at meggan.dwyer@maine.edu \nAbout Dr. Hanes: \nSam Hanes is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Maine. His research focuses on historical geography and human ecology. His current work includes research on the evolution of oyster management in the U.S. and a study on the human dimensions of pollination in the Northeast. Hanes is also part of a team researching the history of aquaculture in Maine. \nHanes’ previous academic appointments include positions as an Instructor and Associate Faculty in the Departments of Anthropology\, English\, Marine Science\, and the Honors College\, all at the University of Maine. He also serves as a graduate and honors thesis advisor. Prior to coming to the University of Maine\, Hanes taught at Rutgers University\, in their departments of Human Ecology\, English\, and Geography. \nIn addition to his research and teaching activities\, Hanes served as a session chair for both the 2014 Society for Human Ecology Conference and the 2013 and 2014 Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology. \nFunding for Hanes’ research has come from the Maine EPSCoR program\, the Mitchell Center for Sustainability Science Emerging Opportunities program\, the National Science Foundation\, the U.S. Department of Agriculture\, and the Center for Continuing and Distance Education.

SUMMARY:Upcoming Talk: Dr. Timothy Waring on "The Evolution of Social-Ecological Systems"
DESCRIPTION:November 29th || 12:30pm || 354 Aubert Hall \nTo solve the modern environmental predicament we must understand how humans created it. Beyond emitting carbon\, over-populating\, polluting\, or over-consuming\, humans have come to dominate the planet\, surviving in all terrestrial environments through a mix of cooperation and cumulative adaptation to the environment\, from the tropics to the arctic. Dr. Waring argues that the factors that make the human species special\, ultra-sociality and cumulative cultural adaptation\, also present the best and only hope for surviving and managing modern ecological crises. This talk will explain how human culture and cooperation both evolve\, and how the dynamics of cultural adaptation play out at multiple levels of social organization in different social ecological systems\, with detailed examples from around the world. \nThis event is free and open to all. Refreshments will be provided. \nFor more information\, please contact Meggan Dwyer at meggan.dwyer@maine.edu \nAbout Dr. Waring: \nDr. Waring studies how cooperation determines sustainability outcomes. Using economic experiments and agent-based simulations\, he builds evolutionary models of social and economic change to learn how sustainable behaviors\, and durable institutions arise and persist. He has led two national working groups to refine this theory and apply it to case studies around the world. Dr. Waring now leads a five-year research project to study how cooperation can improve the success of local food organizations\, and grow the local food economy.

SUMMARY:SEANET Seminar: Troy Hartley - Collaboration in Team Science: I Collobber You\, and You Collobber Me!
DESCRIPTION:Whether it is local\, “wicked” problems that are complex\, challenging\, with multiple feedbacks\, high uncertainty\, and ambiguous solutions\, or NSF’s Grand Societal Challenges\, we are increasingly needing to take multi-\, inter-\, and trans-disciplinary team science approaches to understand and potentially solve these problems. However\, such cross-disciplinary research efforts have struggled for both taskwork and teamwork reasons. An emerging science of team science is producing greater understanding of the team science phenomenon and suggestions for overcoming implementation obstacles. We have been building professional development training to build competencies among coastal and marine STEM doctoral students to be more effective in team science. \nHis talk will provide an overview of the emerging science of team science and the strategies for improving the effectiveness of multi-\, inter-\, and trans-disciplinary initiatives.

SUMMARY:A Climate of Change
DESCRIPTION:The Island Institute and the Sustainable Ecological Aquaculture Network (SEANET) present four short films about the future of fisheries and the changing ocean. This free screening will be followed by a Q & A with the Island Institute’s Heather Deese and UMaine Ph.D. student Sam Belknap. \nAcross New England and the nation\, fishermen and scientists are observing notable shifts in the ecosystem and dramatic changes on the water. The four films in the Island Institute’s Climate of Change series examine the effects on the fishing industry associated with climate change\, including warming waters\, lack of biodiversity\, and ocean acidification. The films help introduce shellfish aquaculture as an example of economic diversification for fishing communities and will provide excellent opportunities for relationship building and dialog on climate change.

SUMMARY:Seminar Presentation: Emily Carrington - Off the Menu? Mussel Bayssal Attachment in a Warmer\, High Carbon Dioxide Ocean
DESCRIPTION:Emily Carrington is a professor of Biology at the University of Washington and a National Science Foundation program director. Carrington’s research program\, in its broadest sense\, investigates the physiological ecology of marine organisms. She is particularly interested in the functional design of organisms that inhabit physically demanding environments\, such as wave-swept rocky shores\, where thermal\, osmotic\, and hydrodynamic conditions can be extreme. Her research involves both plants and animals and spans many levels of biological organization\, from the mechanics of biological materials\, to the persistence of populations\, to the characterization of the physical environment and how it influences biological processes.
