Sustainable Forestry Practices for PEI: Compatible Ideas from Europe<\/strong>
\nNovember 20, 2018\u00a0 7 pm AST<\/strong>
\nAlex H. MacKinnon Auditorium of UPEI\u2019s Don and Marion<\/strong>
\nMcDougall Hall, Charlottetown, PE<\/strong><\/p>\nUPEI\u2019s Climate Research Lab and the PEI Woodlot Owners Association (PEIWOA) will host a public talk on sustainable forestry practices to deepen our understanding of how climate change can affect forestry management. Dutch expert Dr. Gert-Jan Naburs will compare European forestry practices with the situation on Prince Edward Island. All are welcome to this free public lecture.<\/span><\/p>\nDr. Gert-Jan Nabuurs is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\u2019s (IPCC) coordinating lead author in good practice guidance for the its fourth assessment report. He will lead the agriculture and forestry chapter in the IPCC\u2019s sixth assessment report, starting in 2019. He was assistant director of the European Forest Institute in Finland from 2009-2012. He is member of Ministerial Advisory Committee Sustainability of Biomass for Energy Purposes, advising on certification schemes and their applicability to Dutch biomass sustainability criteria.\u00a0Dr. Nabuurs is also a professor of European forest resources at Wageningen University in the Netherlands and a senior researcher at Wageningen Environmental Research (WUR). His background is in European scale forest resource analyses and management under climate change. His work has both scientific and practical applications.<\/p>\n
Although this event is important for woodlot owners and silviculture workers, Dr. Nabuurs\u2019 ideas and experience will also be of interest to forestry contractors, environment and watershed groups, climate scientists, resource managers, local governments and chambers of commerce. All are welcome.<\/p>\n

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Research Information Session<\/strong>
\nJuly 23-24, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\nUAV offer researchers a cost effective and flexible means of collecting high spatial and temporal resolution data. The user friendly nature of commercial UAV has led to wide spread adoption across industries and research areas; however, there are a number of important considerations that need to be made before purchasing and operating a UAV. This two day information session hosted by the UPEI Climate Research Lab is intended to give researchers considering or already using UAV in their research the necessary background knowledge to determine the applicability of UAV to their situation. Outcomes of the session (what you will learn) include:<\/p>\n
\n- How to purchase a UAV, the various models<\/li>\n
- How to plan drone flights, and operation options<\/li>\n
- Options and procedures for image processing<\/li>\n
- How to establish ground control points to increase the precision of data captured<\/li>\n
- Understanding scale considerations for answering research questions<\/li>\n
- The Department of Transport rules and regulations for operating UAVs<\/li>\n
- How to operate UAVs safely<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Webinar “Our Incredible Shrinking Island: Climate Science Public Outreach Information Sessions on Prince Edward Island”<\/strong>
\nJune 20, 2018 2pm ADT<\/strong><\/p>\nThe University of Prince Edward Island Climate Lab has undertaken a travelling road show of public information sessions on sea-level rise, coastal erosion and their potential effects on the island province. The lab, which undertakes research on climate change vulnerability, impacts and adaptation, did a similar series of presentations four years ago, but had a strong incentive to visit over eight communities again this year. The first was funding from the Ecology Action Centre. The second was the new science surrounding the rate of sea level rise. For the last 30 years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s leading authority on climate change science, advised planning for a one metre of sea-level rise. The new science says it could be as much as three times that. The star of the show is CLIVE (Coastal Impacts Visualization Environment), a visualization tool developed by the UPEI Climate Lab and Simon Fraser University’s Spatial Interface Research Lab to show the impact of future coastal erosion, sea-level rise and storm surges. Using a game controller, users can fly over a 3D representation of PEI and zoom in on their home or community. They then select different erosion and sea-level rise scenarios to see how they will affect the land. Results of showing CLIVE to PEI communities have proved an increase in knowledge and awareness about climate change impacts; an increase in the concern over these impacts; and a willingness to adapt or “take action.” This webinar will provide more details.<\/p>\n

PEI Meteorological Monitoring Workshop at Rodd Charlottetown<\/strong>
\nFebruary 20, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\nThe workshop brings together researchers, governments, industry organizations, NGOs, and businesses to discuss the need for climate data systems; ways in which climate data is collected, shared, and used; challenges in accessing climate data; and future needs and opportunities for climate data.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our Incredible Shrinking Island<\/strong>
\nFebruary – August, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/files\/2017\/04\/SLR-workshop-thumbnail.png\")
<\/p>\n
Dr. Adam Fenech and researchers from the UPEI Climate Research Lab are travelling across Prince Edward Island over the next few weeks to speak to communities about sea-level rise. The purpose of the presentations will be to increase understanding and awareness about the impacts of sea-level rise, coastal erosion and storm surges as well as tools for adaptation and coastal planning. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and to discuss what sea-level rise means for Islanders. The events are open to the public and will run for approximately two hours. Refreshments will be provided. There is no charge to attend.<\/p>\n
Eight communities across PEI will be visited. This round of presentations begins this winter, with a second round of presentations happening throughout the summer. The sessions are as follows:<\/p>\n
Friday, February 16th<\/sup> – John J. Sark Memorial School, Lennox Island (4:00 \u2013 6:00 PM)

What is climate change, anyway?<\/p>\n
We hear about climate change on a daily basis in the news and on social media because it is a real, growing concern that has the potential to affect everyone. However, most of us don\u2019t have a good understanding of what climate change, and the various terms associated with it, actually mean. If you\u2019re interested in this topic and would like to learn more, please join us for a free introductory presentation on climate change to be held on Thursday, January 11 at Receiver Brass Shop (178 Water Street) from 7 p.m.-8:30 p.m. The presentation is offered by Stephanie Arnold, Senior Research Assistant at the UPEI Climate Lab, in coordination with the City of Charlottetown.<\/p>\n
This event is open to the public and light refreshments will be provided. No registration required.<\/p>\n
