Multiple Margins of Fishing Behavior: Implications for Predicting the Effects of a Policy ChangeThis presentation provides an extensive overview of the analysis and findings of studies of policy change in fishing management.

Planting the Seeds to Examine Food Security Challenges in the Alaska Food-Energy-Water NexusWhat is the Food-Energy-Water Nexus? It is the relationship between the energy that is used to clean and treat water and to grow food. It is also the recognition that it takes water to grow food and produce electrical power, and that it takes food to power us all to keep these systems running. This set of relationships can be considered at different scales including the "micro" that is most characteristic of small island communities in Alaska. This presentation was delivered at the Alaska Food Policy Council 2019 Festival and Conference.

Polar Politics: The Marriage of Scientists, Stakeholders and Policymakers, a presentationThe Arctic is a complex integrated system of natural, physical and social domains inextricably connected to the larger global system. Our goal is to develop partnerships and innovations to transcend disciplinary, geographical, political and mission-related boundaries. This is important for many reasons, including the complexity of the issues, scarce resources, agency budget constraints, and rapidly changing systems. This presentation explores key questions including How can scientists better communicate their research so stakeholders and policymakers understand it? How can we make it easier (and more desirable) for policymakers and stakeholders to use that research to improve decisions? How can we make science that is relevant to policymakers and stakeholders more interesting to the scientific establishment ?
