How Can Ecosystem-Scale Information be Used to Improve Our Understanding of Climate Change Impacts, and Support Management and Conservation in the North Pacific?
Yunne-Jai Shin Research Institute for Development for Marine Biodiversity, Exploitation and Conservation (IRD MARBEC), France
Session 8 Invited Speaker
Dr. Yunne-Jai Shin is a Director of Research for the Research Institute for Development for Marine Biodiversity, Exploitation and Conservation in France. She has a Ph.D. in Biomathematics from University Montpellier and two Master’s degrees in Biomathematics and Fisheries Science from the University of Paris and ENSAR Rennes. Previously, Dr. Shin acted as an honorary research associate at the University of Cape Town’s Department of Biological Sciences, and a research scientist at IRD. Her expertise is in marine biology and ecology. Some of her key achievements include the simulation of biodiversity scenarios for marine ecosystems under the combined effects of fishing and climate change; the assessment of the status of global marine ecosystems based on analyses of biodiversity indicators, and the development of state-of-the-art ecosystem models to run these scenarios. Dr. Shin served as the coordinating lead author of Chapter 4 of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services’ Global Assessment, Chapter 5 of the IPBES-IPCC scientific report, and participated in political hearings that ensued at the US Congress, French Parliament, and French Presidential Palace. What motivates Dr. Shin in AIMES is the opportunity to share visions from experts working in different disciplines and on different biomes. In the SSC, she hopes to contribute to the animation of research on biodiversity models and scenarios by bringing her expertise in marine ecosystem modeling and scenarios of ocean futures.

The Rise of Bibliometric Analyses to Address Sustainability Solutions Through a Human Dimension Lens
Karen Hunter Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)
Session 15 Invited Speaker
Karen Hunter has over 20 years’ experience focused mainly on climate adaptation science in DFO’s Pacific Region, Ecosystem Science Division. With a large network of colleagues, she helps create solutions to improve how we conserve and manage living resources in a changing climate. Karen’s science approach emphasizes the need to bring conceptual and theoretical ideas into our day-to-day operations to manage problems creatively and flexibly. She was part of a DFO team who co-developed novel risk-based frameworks that can operationalize multiple human values and risks from threats like climate change into decision-making, and co-developed studies to better understand the integration of climate adaptation and ecological integrity in marine protected areas at a global scale. Prior to DFO, Karen led the re-establishment of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve on Vancouver Island, BC, and worked at Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA, where she focused on the impacts of changing habitat conditions on fish movement and growth – thus ‘challenging problems’ and the ‘changing environment’ have been central to her work since 2000. Karen serves as Vice-Chair of the PICES Human Dimensions Committee and is co-chair of two PICES Working Groups (WG51: Exploring Human Networks to Power Sustainability and WG49: Climate Extremes and Coastal Impacts in the Pacific).
