The neighborhood was established to support a flourishing maritime endeavor during wartime. Today, with 225 double units and 150 single-family homes, some of its residents are still part of the Naval industry in Kittery, though many units were sold to small families and individuals who make up the contemporary fabric of a humble community on the Maine Seacoast.

Colloquium Speaker Series: Amy Frazier
2025-02-06 12:00 - 13:00 | Zoom (Online)
A Geographic Approach for Co-designing and Implementing ‘30×30’ Conservation Goals

The world is at a tipping point for biodiversity, with over a million species threatened with extinction and climate change driving a redistribution of life on Earth. The recent Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework addresses some of these grand challenges by recommending that at least 30% of land and water be protected by 2030 (colloquially called “30×30”). However, while agreements like these are a good start, they are rarely successful in practice, in part because there is often a disconnect between the geographic data and models being produced by scientists and the information that is needed for conservation decision-making on the ground.
In this talk, Dr. Frazier will discuss how her team is working with various partners around the world to implement conservation projects to protect the planet and how an effective co-design approach can overcome some of the challenges of using geographic methods for conservation decision-making. Woven throughout are examples of how a geographic approach, and particularly an understanding of the impacts of scale on analyses, can enhance this decision-making.
Amy Frazier is the Jack and Laura Dangermond Endowed Chair of Conservation Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She previously held faculty appointments at Arizona State University and Oklahoma State University. Dr. Frazier holds an A.B. in environmental earth science from Dartmouth College, an M.A. in geography from West Chester University, and a Ph.D. in geography from the University at Buffalo. Dr. Frazier’s research focuses on integrating remote sensing, GIS, and landscape ecology to study global environmental change, specifically to prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
