SUMMARY:Research Seminar: Bridging the Gaps of Vermont’s Emergency Response Capacity
DESCRIPTION:Lake Champlain Sea Grant and the UVM Water Resources Institute are pleased to announce a Fall 2026 Research Seminar Series. This series of five seminars will be held on select Mondays from 12–1 PM throughout the semester\, with an approximately 30–40-minute presentation followed by 20-minutes for questions. Each presentation will be recorded and made available on our website after the event. \n10/19 (Remote via Teams) - Rodrigo Soares \, Bridging the Gaps of Vermont’s Emergency Response Capacity. Join online here.  \nRodrigo Soares is a postdoctoral associate in the UVM Plant and Soil Science Department. He earned his PhD in strategic communication and a masters in mass communication from the University of Central Florida (UCF). Soares has 15 years of experience as a leading practitioner in the communication field\, and seven years of applied research in risk and crisis communication. His work has analyzed disease outbreaks and pandemics such as the Zika virus in Brazil and COVID19\, through a message design perspective. He also tested the adequacy of crisis communication theories in explaining the failures of institutions facing repeated crises\, expanding the understanding of post-crisis learning. His research provides both theoretical advancements and practical applications to the field of risk and crisis communication. \nTo request a disability-related accommodation to participate in this program\, please contact us at 802-656-4277 or seagrant@uvm.edu at least 2 weeks before the event so we may assist you.

SUMMARY:Lake Champlain Environmental Sensitivity Index Mapping
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps provide a concise summary of coastal resources that face potential risk in the event of an oil or chemical spill nearby. Incident response managers use these maps from a wide range of federal and state agencies to identify vulnerable coastal locations and guide decision-making about where and how to prioritize emergency response and restoration activities. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has established guidance and developed a portal for publishing nationally consistent ESI maps. The Lake Champlain Basin Program\, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\, and U.S. Geological Survey recognize the need to create these maps for the 587 miles of Lake Champlain shoreline so that protection priorities and response strategies can be identified\, allowing rapid response in the case of an oil or chemical spill. This presentation will provide an overview of the Lake Champlain Environmental Sensitivity Index Mapping. \nClick here to register. \nPresenter: Ben Fisher\, physical scientist\, U.S. Geological Survey New York Water Science Center \nTo request a disability-related accommodation to participate in this program\, please contact us at 802-656-4277 or seagrant@uvm.edu at least 2 weeks before the event so we may assist you.
