SUMMARY:2025 CFWE Seminar Series — Vic Adamowicz
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER: Dr. Vic Adamowicz\, University of Alberta\, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus \nTITLE: Measuring the impact of a wildlife disease on hunting behavior through recreational lottery applications: The case of Chronic Wasting Disease in Alberta\, Canada \nABSTRACT: If an environmental quality change affects a resource allocated using a lottery-rationing system\, activity levels (e.g. trips) may remain constant while applications vary. This presentation will describe our analysis using multiple reduced-form models to examine the impact of a wildlife disease on application behavior in a lottery rationed resource. We use hunting license application data for antlered mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in Alberta\, Canada from 2001 to 2022 and examine the impact of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). CWD is a 100% fatal prion disease and has the potential to diminish cervid populations (i.e. deer\, moose\, elk\, and caribou) and affect various segments of society including recreational hunters. Our findings show that increasing CWD prevalence reduces demand for hunting applications but the pattern of impact suggests a complex behavioral response to the disease. The presentation will also include a description of complementary analyses that are components of an interdisciplinary approach to addressing CWD in Alberta. Dr. Adamowicz will also discuss contemporary academic research issues in forestry\, natural resources and the environment in Canada. \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Vic Adamowicz is a Distinguished University Professor Emeritus in the Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology at the University of Alberta where he has made significant contributions to the fields of environmental economics and natural resource management. He obtained his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from the University of Alberta (1981\, 1983) and his doctorate from the University of Minnesota in 1988. Throughout his career\, Dr. Adamowicz’s research has focused on the valuation of environmental goods and services\, as well as the economic analysis of natural resource policies and choice behavior with applications to food demand\, recreation\, and environmental quality. His work has helped shape the understanding of how economic principles can be applied to sustainability and resource conservation. With numerous published studies and a long-standing commitment to academic excellence\, Dr. Adamowicz has earned recognition as a leading figure in his field. His distinguished career includes not only impactful research\, but also mentorship of graduate students and collaborative efforts with government agencies and industry partners to address pressing environmental challenges. Dr. Adamowicz is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, Academy II – Social Sciences (awarded in 2007). He became a Fellow of the Association of Agricultural and Applied Economics in 2025. \nEVENT DETAILS: Faculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program.

SUMMARY:2024 Fall Seminar Series — Avni Malhotra
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER: Avni Malhotra\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory \nTITLE: Getting to the Root of Climate Change in Wetlands \nABSTRACT: Wetlands play a central role in the global carbon cycle through soil carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions. Wetland response to environmental change is expected to influence the global climate-carbon cycle feedback\, but the magnitude and direction of this influence are unclear. One uncertainty lies at the plant-soil interface. The role of plants in mediating wetland carbon cycling is well understood aboveground\, but belowground plant dynamics remain a black box. In this talk\, I will focus on two broad research questions: how do wetland roots respond to environmental change and what are the implications of this change for soil carbon and ecosystem carbon fluxes? I will provide examples from field and lab research from a variety of wetland settings (peatlands\, and experimental and coastal wetlands) and conclude with a forward-looking section on our predictive understanding of wetlands in a changing world. \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: Avni Malhotra is an earth scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory focused on above- and below-ground carbon cycle responses of ecosystems to global change\, with the overarching goal of improving predictive understanding of ecosystems. Avni specializes in carbon-rich ecosystems such as peatlands and wetlands\, which are a globally significant but vulnerable sink of carbon\, and key players in global greenhouse gas budgets. She employs a multi-scale approach where fine-scale process investigations in the lab and field are placed in a broader context using global data syntheses and model-data integration. \nEVENT DETAILS: Faculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required. Refreshments will be available after the seminar.

SUMMARY:2024 Fall Seminar Series — Heidi Renninger
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER: Heidi Renninger\, College of Forest Resources\, Mississippi State University \nTITLE: Selecting Populus short rotation woody crops for future climates and ecosystem service provision  \nABSTRACT: Populus species\, specifically eastern cottonwood and its hybrids\, are grown for a variety of products but most recently as feedstocks for bioenergy (including sustainable aviation fuels) and bioproducts. Dr. Renninger will discuss her research on the physiological functioning of selected Populus genotypes specifically as it relates to choosing genotypes with greater water stress and heat tolerance as well as measuring the ecosystem services provided by Populus plantations. \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Renninger grew up in Pennsylvania and did her undergraduate studies at Millersville University majoring in Biology. She then went to Oregon State University for her masters in the Wood Science and Engineering Department with a dual degree in Wood Science and Forest Science. She studied the hydraulic conductivity of Douglas-fir and western hemlock and factors that relate to conductivity. She then pursued a PhD at Boston University in the Geography Department. Her dissertation research used palm trees as a model organism to test the hydraulic limitation hypothesis\, which is the idea that maximum tree height for a given species is limited by the increasing path length for water transport as trees get taller. She then did a post-doc at Rutgers University working in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey and studying forest responses to disturbance. Dr. Renninger started at Mississippi State University in 2014\, where she does a variety of tree physiological research. \nEVENT DETAILS: Faculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required. Refreshments will be available after the seminar. Parking is available on the third and fourth floors in the South Quad Parking Deck across from the CFWE Building on Duncan Drive.
