The Biological & Biomedical Research Seminar series presents Dr. Anne Trainor on “Finding Common Ground: Integrating Spatial Ecology and Conservation Science into Land-Use Planning” on Thursday, Jan. 22, at 3 p.m. in Irvine 159.
Dr. Anne Trainor
Trainor is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati.
Coffee and snacks are provided.
Abstract: As humans increasingly dominate the globe, they encounter multiple, often conflicting objectives that impact landscape-scale decision-making. Conservation scientists often consider trade-offs between a host of diverse ecological, economic, and social objectives. Trainor will describe spatially explicit approach to help reconcile the trade-offs among competing land-use demands from expanding renewable energy infrastructure, while maintaining productive farmlands and ecosystem function.
