Great Lakes Hydrilla Collaborative Technical Webinar Series

Tuesday, June 11

2:00pm- EDT

Kris Erickson, Principal Scientist and Project Manager with Ecology and Environment, Inc.; Kristen Hebebrand, Project Manager with Chagrin River Watershed Partners, Inc.; and Matt Barnes, Assistant Professor with Texas Tech University’s Department of Natural Resources Management, will be presenting on the Great Lakes Hydrilla Risk Assessment.

Kris will provide the framework and an overview of the risk assessment, including the environmental, economic, and social/cultural impacts; characterization of risk (i.e., where are the most vulnerable areas); and risk management recommendations and BMPs.

Matt will discuss how species distribution modeling was used to support determinations of suitable habitat where hydrilla may successfully establish, if introduced.

Kristen will summarize the dispersal modeling that was used to understand the pathways by which the species could potentially spread, focusing on the development of models of recreational boater movement to predict which watersheds are most at risk to new introductions.

We will have an approximately 40-minute presentation followed by a 20-minute question and answer session.

Please send an email to hydrillacollaborative@ene.com to register or for more information.

For those who are unable to attend, a recording of the webinar will be made available at http://hydrillacollaborative.com

“Thank you for sending the plaque from the NEAPMS. What a nice inscription and I am truly honored to be recognized. As I sit here on a rainy day and work on reports, it is nice to know that managers see the value in some of the work. Please convey my sincere appreciation to the awards committee and to the Society.”

“What a pleasant surprise it was to receive the NEAPMS Research Award! Thank you to all involved! I sincerely appreciate recognition from this respected organization and especially my colleagues in the Northeast. I will share the award with my past and present students and colleagues that have participated in making my career memorable in the best profession in the world. And I owe NEAPMS a special “thanks” for the role you play in the education of my (and all) students as well as the insights that I gain by attending your meetings.”

— Best regards, John Rodgers

“I wanted to express my gratitude for the thoughtful inscription on the Scientist of the Year award. I was especially humbled by the notion that my research yields user-friendly data for aquatic plant managers. If that is true, it is because managers have generously given their time to take me in the field with them, and to openly discuss their perspectives on issues in aquatic plant management. These interactions play a central role in shaping my research program. I am grateful for the numerous research opportunities that the APMS societies have provided to me, and most especially to my students.”

— Ryan A Thum, Assistant Professor Grand Valley State University
