SUMMARY:Managing the Planet: Regenerating Colorado's Rangelands: One Acre at a Time?
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 25\, 2021 \n5-6:15pm \nRegister HERE \nGlobally\, rangelands comprise the largest land use\, estimated to cover about 25% of Earth’s land surface. This makes them an essential resource for both maintaining environmental services like biodiversity conservation and as a source of livelihood\, especially for rural communities. Worldwide the surging demand for livestock products is largely met by large-scale livestock production and associated food chains. Nonetheless\, hundreds of millions of small-scale producers and pastoralists depend on livestock for their livelihoods. Regenerating degraded rangelands relies on balancing competing demands and the interrelationships among plants\, livestock\, wildlife\, and human disturbance with soils\, climate and other factors. Our panel will discuss potential preventative and regenerative measures in the sustainable utilization of these ecosystems in the context of Global Change drivers. \nPanelists:\nKevin Jablonski: Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship\nRichard Knight: Department of Human Dimensions and Natural Resources\nMelinda Smith: Semi-and Grassland Research Center\nKim Stackhouse-Lawson: Sustainable Livestock Systems Collaborative \nModerator: Gene Kelly\, SoGES Faculty Research Liaison\, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and Associate Dean of Extension

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture- Dr. Melisa Diaz
DESCRIPTION:Ice-free areas within the Transantarctic Mountains in Antarctica contain some of the oldest exposed soils on Earth and have been greatly modified by the advance and retreat of glaciers throughout the recent geologic past. However\, despite generally biologically unfavorable conditions\, soil organisms persist. This presentation will discuss how glacier movement has impacted nutrient sources and life itself. \nRegistration required — Click HERE to register \nZoom links will be emailed to registered participants.

SUMMARY:"Sustainability: There is no solution. There are SOLUTIONS." with Thomas Dietz
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Dietz\, University Distinguished Professor\, Department of Sociology\, Michigan State University\nMember\, External Advisory Board\, SoGES\nThe problems of global environmental change are daunting and urgent. The current pandemic shows how quickly new challenges can emerge. How do we achieve a just sustainable future? Consumer behavior can’t stop climate change. Government action isn’t working. Corporations are doing too little. The revolution will take too long. There is no solution. But there are solutions. To make progress\, we need decisions that take account of uncertain facts and conflicting values. And we need to identify effective actions. We know a lot about decisions\, criteria for good decisions and the obstacles to making them. It is a time when our decisions matter\, and we can take steps on the many roads to a better future. \nPresentation Slides \nRecording of the lecture

SUMMARY:FEWtures: Innovative solutions for sustaining rural America
DESCRIPTION:A free public\, virtual lecture presented by the School of Global Environmental Sustainability \nTuesday\, September 22nd\, 2020 \n4 – 5pm \nRegister HERE \nHow can small towns and rural communities in remote agricultural regions meet their economic and food-energy-water (FEW) sustainability needs into the future? Dr. Mary Hill\, professor at the University of Kansas and SoGES Visiting Fellow\, will discuss the goals of the ongoing NSF FEWtures project to address this question\, including how wind-driven electricity and new microgrid approaches can power two innovative sustainability solutions: (1) producing ammonia at small\, locally owned facilities and (2) treating water at point of use. Ammonia can be used to fertilize crops\, but a surprising and lesser known use of ammonia is as an energy storage mechanism that can power tractors. Water treatment may need to serve niche\, high value uses to be economically viable. The potential of these solutions depends on new and evolving scientific advances. Done locally and designed well\, these two ideas could\, with participation of local stakeholders\, contribute to the economic wellbeing of many small towns and rural communities. FEWtures involves evaluation of the science\, engineering\, economics\, and development of decision-support resources to help local policymakers and stakeholders navigate the complex challenges ahead. \nDr. Hill’s research collaborators include: John Symons and Edward Peltier of the University of Kansas\, Susan Stover (Kansas Geological Survey)\, Vincent Amanor-Boadu\, Hongyu Wu\, James Bloodgood\, and Amber Campbell of Kansas State University\, Peter Pfromm (Washington State University)\, Robert Barron (Western New England University)\, and Benjamin Gray (University of Montana). \nPresentation slides \nRecording of the lecture

SUMMARY:Canceled: "Living in the Human Age" w/ Dennis Dimick
DESCRIPTION:The School of Global Environmental Sustainability (SoGES) is committed to the health and safety of our campus and community. In accordance with CSU policy and in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19\, this event has been canceled. Go to https://safety.colostate.edu/coronavirus/ for the most recent information about the University’s pandemic response.\nA narrated visual journey through our modern world of 7.5 billion people that considers our expanding footprint\, rising prosperity\, and resulting environmental challenges that call for our attention and response.  \nBased on his many years as a picture editor and environment editor for National Geographic magazine\, Dennis Dimick presents a fast-moving\, vivid slide show lecture that explores and explains the modern human era: how we got here\, our current prosperity\, and what looms on the road ahead. Dimick frames his visual discussion using an emergent idea called the Anthropocene\, or Human Age\, a new geologic ear proposed by scientists that marks our trajectory and enduring impact on the planet as population rises\, and demand for energy and food increases. He addresses accumulating environmental impacts such as pollution and climatic shifts\, and how we might productively respond. His goal is to help us appreciate our place in nature and contemplate how we can contribute towards a more balanced future for ourselves and the planet. \n  \nThe son of fisheries biologists\, Dennis Dimick grew up on a sheep and hay farm in the U.S. Pacific Northwest near Portland\, Oregon. After completing agriculture and agricultural journalism studies at Oregon State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, Dennis in 1974 began a four-decade journalism career that included more than 35 years at the National Geographic Society in Washington\, D.C.\, where he served as a photography editor and for a decade as the magazine’s environment editor. With a focus on the collision between human aspiration and the planet\, his National Geographic work included orchestrating major magazine projects on energy\, climate change\, soil conservation\, global freshwater\, world population\, and the future of food security. Dimick lectures on the emerging Human Age or Anthropocene epoch\, and his Eyes on Earth project with photographer Jim Richardson emphasizes seeing the Anthropocene and its meaning.

In accordance with CSU policy and in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19\, this event has been canceled. Go to https://safety.colostate.edu/coronavirus/ for the most recent information about the University’s pandemic response.\nBiodiversity and Our Lives — The Global Biodiversity Center at Colorado State University hosts the 8th annual Biodiversity Ignite. Join us for a fast paced\, entertaining evening of IGNITE-style presentations that showcase and recognize the range of valuable biodiversity research being conducted at CSU. The center is housed at the School of Global Environmental Sustainability. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nIn the IGNITE format each speaker presents 20 slides in 5 minutes\, and as an amusing side bonus\, the slides progress automatically every 15 seconds (whether or not the speaker is ready). Approximately 12 scientists from CSU will speak about their work on a diversity of organisms (microbes\, plants\, insects\, amphibians\, birds\, carnivores\, and elephants) and topics relating to biodiversity\, including climate change\, invasive species\, conservation genetics\, community solutions\, and ethics. \nBiodiversity is the variation of all life on earth\, from genes and species to communities and ecosystems. Biodiversity can be studied from the local to global scale and across the many levels of organization (genes to ecosystems).  In all systems\, aquatic to terrestrial and managed to natural\, biodiversity maintains life on our planet and underpins the ecosystem services vital to human well-being\, including food\, carbon storage\, climate regulation and aesthetics and cultural support. However\, human activities threaten this biodiversity and species extinction continues to increase. \nFor more information\, please contact Chris Funk at Chris.Funk@colostate.edu \nAbout the Global Biodiversity Center \nThe School of Global Environmental Sustainability supports the Global Biodiversity Center (GBC). The goal of the GBC is to; (1) link biodiversity researchers across campus; (2) provide expertise in biodiversity research to other scientists\, policy makers\, natural resource managers\, and conservation practitioners at the state\, national\, and international levels; and (3) work towards the enhancement of biodiversity through research\, policy advancement\, and outreach.

SUMMARY:Canceled: Reception Honoring Author Andrea Duffy
DESCRIPTION:The School of Global Environmental Sustainability (SoGES) is committed to the health and safety of our campus and community. In accordance with CSU policy and in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19\, this event has been canceled. Go to https://safety.colostate.edu/coronavirus/ for the most recent information about the University’s pandemic response.\nNomad’s Land: Pastoralism and French Environmental Policy in the Nineteenth-Century Mediterranean World \nAbout the Book \n\nDuring the nineteenth century\, the development and codification of forest science in France were closely linked to Provence’s time-honored tradition of mobile pastoralism\, which formed a major part of the economy. At the beginning of the century\, pastoralism also featured prominently in the economies and social traditions of North Africa and southwestern Anatolia until French forest agents implemented ideas and practices for forest management in these areas aimed largely at regulating and marginalizing Mediterranean mobile pastoral traditions. These practices changed not only landscapes but also the social order of these three Mediterranean societies and the nature of French colonial administration. \nIn Nomad’s Land Andrea E. Duffy investigates the relationship between Mediterranean mobile pastoralism and nineteenth-century French forestry through case studies in Provence\, French colonial Algeria\, and Ottoman Anatolia. By restricting the use of shared spaces\, foresters helped bring the populations of Provence and Algeria under the control of the state\, and French scientific forestry became a medium for state initiatives to sedentarize mobile pastoral groups in Anatolia. Locals responded through petitions\, arson\, violence\, compromise\, and adaptation. Duffy shows that French efforts to promote scientific forestry both internally and abroad were intimately tied to empire building and paralleled the solidification of Western narratives condemning the pastoral tradition\, leading to sometimes tragic outcomes for both the environment and pastoralists. \nAuthor Bio \nAndrea E. Duffy is the director of international studies and an assistant professor at Colorado State University.

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Jessie Creamean "A view from the Arctic Ocean: Lessons for Antarctica?"
DESCRIPTION:Jessie Creamean- Research Scientist\, Colorado State University \nThe Arctic Ocean has a diverse and dynamic ecosystem within the sea water and ice pack. Interactions between microorganisms living in the ocean\, ice\, and atmosphere are highly sensitive to the rapidly evolving climate\, but still poorly understood for both of Earth’s polar regions. Dr. Creamean’s research focuses on a small but significant piece of the Arctice climate system puzzle: how biology in the sea ice\, snow\, and ocean impact Arctic clouds. She will discuss her research and life experiences spent during her recent arctic icebreaker expeditions\, her future plans for biology-atmosphere-climate polar research\, and how information gleaned from the Arctic can be useful for understanding similar processes in the Antarctic.

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Dirk Hobman\, "The Color of Ice"
DESCRIPTION:The Color of Ice: Photographs of Ancient Ice Cores\nwith Dirk Hobman\, Artist and Photographer \nThe attached photograph is of 29\,000 year-old ice from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet that has not been altered or enhanced in any way. How is this possible? Join us to find out! \nIce\, like photography\, has the remarkable ability to stop time. Researchers have tapped into this phenomenon by drilling ice cores deep into the polar ice caps. The Color of Ice carries viewers on a journey of the imagination\, traveling through over 200\,000 years of earth’s past\, and between both poles. Along the way\, logic and emotion\, utility and beauty\, science and art\, and even space and time merge to one in an unexpected world of ice.
