SUMMARY:Managing the Planet: Climate migrants
DESCRIPTION:Climate migrants: how climate change is shifting the global demographic  \nJoin us for a panel discussion on the intersection between climate change and human\, plant and animal migration patterns. There is growing realization among researchers\, policy makers\, and the wider public that the impacts of climate change will have a large effect on global migration patterns in the coming decades. While Migration is an adaptation strategy for humans and certain animals that follow their habitats\, these shifts are slower for plants and for those that have nowhere left to go. According to the report\, Groundswell – Preparing for Internal Climate Migration\, climate migration will likely rise through 2050 and then accelerate; the challenges are certain\, but what are the opportunities if we act now? \nOur CSU panelists will discuss how climate change is shifting the global demographic of humans\, plants and animals. \nPanelists: \n\nJohn Sanderson: Center for Collaborative Conservation\nAmy Charkowski: Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management\nEd Barbier: Department of Economics\nPankaj Trivedi: Department of Bioagriculture Sciences and Pest Management\n\nModerator: Gene Kelly\, SoGES Faculty Research Liaison\, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and Associate Dean of Extension. \nThe panel discussion\, part of a Managing the Planet series\, is free of charge and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Managing the Planet: Seeing Earth through the Flames
DESCRIPTION:Seeing Earth Through the Flames: How Climate Change is Contributing to Catastrophic Fires \nJoin us for a panel discussion on the complex relationship between wildfire and climate change. \nDocumented warming and drying of climate over the last several decades have significantly increased fire-season fuel aridity\, and fostered an environment favorable for devasting fires. In addition\, the long fire season enables insect infestations to be more effective at killing and drying out large expanses of trees\, which become the available fuel for ignition by lightning strikes. As fire season is now two-and-a-half months longer than it was a half a century ago\, the threat to biodiversity\, the global hydrological cycle\, and global climate is ominous. \nOur CSU panelists will discuss how climate change is manipulating the shape of our planet through fire and the implications this has on environment and society. \nWhere: Avogadro’s Number (605 S Mason Street Fort Collins\, Colorado 80524) from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday\, October 23rd\, 2019. Free of charge and open to the public \nPanelists: \n\nFrancesca Cortufo: Department of Soil and Crop Sciences\nCamille Stevens-Rumann: Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship\nRuss Schumacker: Department of Atmospheric Sciences\nTerrence Iverson: Department of Economics\n\nModerator: Gene Kelly\, SoGES Faculty Research Liaison\, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and Associate Dean of Extension. \nThe panel discussion\, part of a Managing the Planet series\, is free of charge and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Anna Bergstrom "Alpine glaciers of the McMurdo Dry Valleys"
DESCRIPTION:Alpine glaciers of the McMurdo Dry Valleys: how are they changing and why do we care?\nWhen we think of “glaciers” and “Antarctica”\, frequently we think about melt and change. But in a place that is so cold and for relatively small glaciers\, are they even changing? And how? I’ll discuss results of my PhD research on how dust in the McMurdo Dry Valleys influences melt of the glaciers and the impacts of melt on the glaciers themselves as well as the surrounding ecosystem.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: 8 Billion Angels
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Terry Spahr will be presenting a sneak preview and Q&A of his new film 8 Billion Angels. Join him from 4-6pm on campus at CSU in Clark\, room A207\, \nView the preview here \nFilmmakers Satement:\n“In my lifetime I have witnessed remarkable changes in humanity’s growth\, in prosperity\, lifespan\, and in sheer numbers across the globe. \nAs a child in the 1970’s\, I saw the unintended consequences of this growth near my home in Philadelphia where pollution clogged the same Delaware River so celebrated for Washington’s crossing\, huge landfills for garbage fouled the landscape close to Independence Hall\, and masses of cars produced smog-filled air as they navigated roads designed centuries ago for far fewer people. \nDespite awakening to our environmental pollution problem\, giving rise to recycling\, renewable energy\, land conservation and environmental awareness and stewardship\, we now see that no amount of technology\, voluntary reduction in consumption\, or conservation can halt the greater forces propelling us toward climate change\, ocean acidification\, deforestation and a host of other natural catastrophes. All of our efforts\, up until now\, have amounted to stop-gap measures that distract us from the fact that we add 80 million more people every year to the earth\, who together consume more resources faster than the world can replenish\, and emit more waste than the earth can naturally absorb. \nThat is why I decided to stop talking about it and do something\, dedicating my time and money to telling the truth about the problem\, and sharing the hope of real solutions in the stories of everyday people. After all\, it is only when we are not afraid to name a problem\, confront it and talk openly and honestly about it\, that we can begin to fix it. \nIt is critical to offer an alternate vision for the future. If we\, as individuals\, families and nations\, band together by pursuing smaller families\, supporting the worldwide adoption of accessible and affordable family planning\, and strengthening our global commitment to the education and empowerment of women and girls\, we will not only bring tremendous social justice\, economic prosperity and health equity to billions\, but we will unequivocally restore the environment. \nJoin me in on this first step of my mission to ensure a planet that provides a just\, safe and sustainable future for everyone.” \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Biodiversity\, Bluegrass\, and Brews
DESCRIPTION:The Global Biodiversity Center is hosting its 2nd annual ‘Biodiversity\, Bluegrass\, and Brews’ event on September 26\, 2019 from 5-8pm on the back patio of Avogadro’s Number. This event is a way to create further awareness across the Colorado State University and Fort Collins communities of the efforts of the GBC and the work that CSU conservation scientists are conducting around the globe\, while also bringing to light important conservation issues. Entry into the event is $20 (cash only!) and will allow attendees a chance to enjoy the get out of your seat and dance\, local bluegrass music from House with a Yard (http://www.hwaymusic.com/)\, while sipping on three limited time only brews from a keepsake commemorative tulip glass. This year\, the GBC is teaming up with Intersect\, Maxline\, and Horse & Dragon Breweries to create three conservation-themed brews inspired by threatened public lands. The brews will honor: 1. Rose Atoll Marine National Monument with a tropical gose called ‘Motu o Manu’ 2. Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with a pale ale named ‘Blue Boundary’\, made with locally sourced fruit and wild rice; and 3. Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with an alder-smoked blueberry pilsner made with lingonberry. All proceeds from the event will go towards supporting the mission of the GBC.

SUMMARY:How to Talk to Journalists: Bridging the Cultures of Science and Journalism
DESCRIPTION:Why do so many scientists find it hard\, even unnerving\, to talk to journalists? \nWhat are the rules of engagement – and the do’s and don’ts of dealing with the media? How can you prepare to avoid the pitfalls that many scientists fear and increase the odds that you are happy with the results?  How can you make the most of opportunities with the press\, for your science to have an impact? \nJoin veteran journalists for tips about engaging with the media. We’ll explore the differences between the cultures of scientists and journalists and how to bridge the gulf. And you’ll gain insights into how they find – and choose – their stories and sources. \nThis year’s event is well timed for the up-coming Oct. 9 – 13 Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) meeting at CSU. It will attract hundreds of environmental and science journalists from across the country and beyond. \nBring your questions!  You’ll get candid answers in a safe setting from this diverse array of journalists. \nModerator:\nNancy Baron is the Director of Science Outreach for COMPASS. Nancy holds workshops around the world for academic\, government\, and NGO scientists helping them develop core competencies as scientist communicators who want to make their work relevant to journalists\, policy makers\, and the public. Nancy began her career as a biologist in Banff National Park\, spent 6 years as Director of Education at the Vancouver Aquarium\, then morphed into journalism. She has won numberous writing awards including the Canadian Science Writers Science in Society and National Magazine awards. An ardent natuarlist\, she published a popular field guide\, The Birds of Costal British Columbia (Lone Pine Publishing) and a “how to” communications guide book for scientists titled Escape from the Ivory Tower (Island Press). Nancy received the 2013 Peter Benchley Ocean Award for Excellence in the Media for her work at the intersection of science and journalism. \nJournalists:\nChristopher Joyce has been a correspondent and editor at NPR for 26 years.

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Joel Singley\, "Spiraling Downstream"
DESCRIPTION:Spiraling Downstream: How Microbes Grapple for Nitrogen in an Antarctic Stream\nJoel Singley- Doctoral Student\, University of Colorado Boulder\nFor a few weeks each Austral summer\, small ephemeral streams flow through the McMurdo Dry Valleys\, an extreme polar desert in Antarctica. These streams are home to rich microbial communities\, including algal mats that carpet the streambed in bright oranges and greens. In addition to surviving most of the year in a freeze-dried state\, these microbes must content with low concentrations of essential nutrients\, such as nitrogen\, and intermittent food pulses\, which threaten to scour them away. We will examine how nitrogen spirals downstream through different microbial communities in this unforgiving environment allowing life to persist.

SUMMARY:Managing the Planet: Changing the mindset around climate change
DESCRIPTION:Changing the mindset around climate change: What we know\, how we act\, and why it takes so long\nThe United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change opened for signature at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. The world’s governments\, including the U.S.\, officially recognized the reality of climate change and the need for action. Since that time\, scientists\, climate activists\, concerned politicians\, and educators have issued a series of increasingly dire warnings about the negative consequences of climate change. These warnings have had some effect. \nThe reality of climate change has been accepted by most Americans.  Recent polling shows that approximately 70% of our population believes that climate change is occurring and 62% that humans are the main cause. These numbers have risen substantially over the last year. \nBut 30% of Americans still do not believe that climate change is real\, nearly 40% do not accept that human activity is responsible\, and fossil fuels still supply 80% of global energy.  Why do so many remained unconvinced\, and why are people not doing more to solve the problem? \nOur CSU panelists will discuss the gap between compelling scientific evidence of a problem and lack of action.  After twenty-six years of news reports about the impacts of climate change on floods\, hurricanes\, and wildfires\, why are we STILL debating whether climate change is real\, whether it is human-caused\, and whether we can and should do anything about it?

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Rick Aster
DESCRIPTION:Ice shelves are critical components of the Antarctic glacial system. Ice shelves are incessantly shaken by ocean\, wind\, glaciological processes\, and even\, sporadically\, by earthquakes or “ice quakes”.  Rick Aster will relate new discoveries from the Ross Ice Shelf\, a Texas-sized expanse of floating glacial ice which is the largest such structure on Earth. In particular\, he will review recent results from a unique two-year study of Ross seismic and vibrational signals using sensitive seismographs\, including newly discovered wind-excited “Firn Modes” that offer a novel way to monitor near-surface snow and ice conditions and changes on a continuous basis. \n  \nA lecture series held once a month through the academic year discussing life and work ‘on the ice’ with invited Antarctic researchers. These lectures are located at the Poudre River Library District – Old Town Library at 201 Petersen Street\, Fort Collins\, CO from 7-8pm.

SUMMARY:Global Biodiversity Center- Biodiversity IGNITE
DESCRIPTION:The Global Biodiversity Center at Colorado State University hosts the 7th 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:The Uprising of Good Sense: Climate Jobs and the Green New Deal
DESCRIPTION:Andreas Ytterstad of Oslo Department of Journalism and Media Studies\, Oslo Metropolitan University\, Norway (currently Visiting Scholar at Centre for Environmental Journalism Colorado University Boulder) \nAbstract:\nThere is an uprising of good sense in the air. Can we\, after all\, really do it? Can we put things right on our planet? In 1776 Thomas Paine wrote a book calling on Americans to join the revolution. He called it Common Sense because\, “however our eyes may be dazzled with show\, or our ears deceived by sound; however prejudice may warp our wills\, or interest darken our understanding\, the simple voice of nature and reason will say\, ‘tis right’.” The last words of Common Sense so clearly describe how humanity feels about global warming. Humanity has continued “putting off some unpleasant business from day to day\, yet knows it must be done\, hates to set about it\, wishes it over\, and is continually haunted with the thoughts of its necessity.” \nThat feeling\, that panic\, is no longer just lurking there in the back of our minds. It has exploded onto the streets as school children march across the world and it has created an existential and political buzz in the United States around the Green New Deal. Andreas Ytterstad\, the founder of the powerful Bridge to the Future Alliance in Norway\, will speak about how a climate jobs campaign could provide the nuts and bolts of such a Green New Deal\, and why it must be built from the uprising of good sense everywhere\, from Greta Thunberg to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

SUMMARY:Managing the Planet: Changing the mindset around climate change: what we know\, how we act\, and why it takes so long
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change opened for signature at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. The world’s governments\, including the U.S.\, officially recognized the reality of climate change and the need for action. Since that time\, scientists\, climate activists\, concerned politicians\, and educators have issued a series of increasingly dire warnings about the negative consequences of climate change. These warnings have had some effect. \nThe reality of climate change has been accepted by most Americans.  Recent polling shows that approximately 70% of our population believes that climate change is occurring and 62% that humans are the main cause. These numbers have risen substantially over the last year. \nBut 30% of Americans still do not believe that climate change is real\, nearly 40% do not accept that human activity is responsible\, and fossil fuels still supply 80% of global energy.  Why do so many remained unconvinced\, and why are people not doing more to solve the problem? \nOur CSU panelists will discuss the gap between compelling scientific evidence of a problem and lack of action.  After twenty-six years of news reports about the impacts of climate change on floods\, hurricanes\, and wildfires\, why are we STILL debating whether climate change is real\, whether it is human-caused\, and whether we can and should do anything about it? \nWhere: Avogadro’s Number (605 S Mason Street Fort Collins\, Colorado 80524) from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday\, April 10\, 2019. Free of charge and open to the public \nPanelists: \n\nPat Aloise-Young\, Department of Psychology\nScott Denning\, Department of Atmospheric Science\nStephanie Malin\, Department of Sociology\nRebecca Niemiec\, Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources\n\nModerator: Gene Kelly\, Assistant Director for Research and Development at SoGES\, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and Associate Dean of Extension.

SUMMARY:The Color of Ice: Photographs of Ancient Ice Cores by Dirk Hobman
DESCRIPTION:March 30-April 4\, 2019\nClosing Reception: April 4\, 2019 4:00-6:00 PM \nArtist Statement: \nThe 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. The photographs of The Color of Ice demonstrate how a seemingly mundane object of the natural world cedes to the marvelous and the unpredictable when viewed in a new light. And yet with every light a shadow is cast\, and we are reminded that the limitless bounds of the imagination remain in immutable ways tethered to a fragile physical world. \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. Layer by layer\, air bubbles trapped within the ice yield clues about earth’s ancient atmosphere. Until now\, however\, only a handful of researchers have ever seen such ice. This project breaks new ground by sharing never-before-seen photographs taken at the National Science Foundation Ice Core Facility in Denver\, Colorado. \nThe Color of Ice presents paired photographs that travel through time and in which the intricate cracked textures of ancient ice captured in black and white yield to an unlikely and unprecedented explosion of pattern and color under polarized light. A product of science\, this special light helps pinpoint the location of trapped air bubbles. Yet the resulting colors bear no scientific significance or value\, and thus the cold logic and utility of science melts into the beautiful and the sublime. \nMimicking the powerful forces of glaciers that literally capture and compress time within their ice\, a final image merges multiple photographs from this project into one\, thereby capturing and compressing over 200\,000 years into a single visual representation\, erasing the very boundaries of time itself. \n-Dirk Hobman

SUMMARY:Katharine Hayhoe: "Mitigate\, Adapt--or Suffer: Connecting Global Change to Local Impacts and Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Mitigate\, Adapt–or Suffer: Connecting Global Change to Local Impacts and Solutions \nClimate is changing—throughout Colorado\, across the United States\, and for the planet as a whole. Temperatures are increasing\, rainfall patterns are shifting\, and extreme precipitation and heat wave events are becoming more frequent. \nClimate change isn’t just a problem for polar bears or future generations any more – it’s affecting us\, here and now. Not only that\, but the choices we make today will have profound impact on our future: the faster we cut our carbon emissions\, the less adaptation will be needed\, and the more suffering we can avert. \nIn such a politically charged environment\, are we still able to act on climate? Or is it too late? Join Katharine Hayhoe as she untangles the complex science connecting our choices to future impacts\, and highlights the actions that are being taken to combat this critical issue today. \nKatharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on understanding what climate change means for people and the places where we live. She is a professor at Texas Tech University and has been named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and Fortune’s 50 World’s Greatest Leaders. \nFREE ADMISSION:TICKET REQUIRED\nReserve online at CSUtix.com \nThis is a Virtual Lecture
