SUMMARY:Viewpoints: Burning Issues
DESCRIPTION:SummerFest Viewpoints Series presents Monique Rocca\, Associate Professor\, CSU Department of Ecosystem Science\nProgram: Change will almost certainly increase the prevalence of “megafires” in many parts of the globe\, including much of North America. How do scientists make forecasts about future patterns of wildfires\, and how ominous is the picture?  What are the likely impacts on human communities and on ecosystems?  Can we do anything to avoid a dire scenario?  In this presentation you will learn about the fire-related challenges climate change will bring\, with a focus on western US forest landscapes.  We will discuss ways that adjusting our attitudes\, policies\, and activities related to forests and wildfire will help us meet these future challenges. \nSponsored/organized by Changing Climates @ CSU \nFree event\, registration required

SUMMARY:Viewpoints: Art and the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:SummerFest viewpoint series presents Erika Osborne\, Assistant Professor of Art\, CSU\nProgram: We have entered the Anthropocene—a new geologic epoch characterized by the overwhelming evidence that humans are affecting the world’s ecosystems\, geology\, and climate in unprecedented ways. This new epoch comes with a myriad of challenges for our globalized world\, especially climate change and the environmental degradation it brings. As sirens of social\, environmental\, and political injustices\, artists are rising to the cause. In this richly illustrated talk Erika Osborne will introduce us to the contemporary art that is responding to these new conditions and proposing solutions to some of our problems. \nFree event\, registration required

SUMMARY:Viewpoints: Music of a Changing Environment
DESCRIPTION:Off the Hook Arts SummerFest Viewpoint Series presents John Pippen\,Professor of Musicology\, CSU Department of Music.\nPresentation Description: Musicians have engage notions of nature in one form or another for centuries. From Enlightenment idealizations of the natural to modern depictions of beautiful places\, composers have endeavored to describe and engage nature. More recent musical works have\, however\, taken on a newly urgent tone. Ecological disaster\, global climate change\, and the newly-sanctioned development of public lands have encouraged a more politically assertive tone. This talk explored these themes in a variety of recent works addressing coastal erosion\, Hurricane Katrina\, and other headline-grabbing events. \nFree event\, registration required

SUMMARY:Biodiversity\, Poverty Traps\, and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Steven Lade\, Researcher\, Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University and Honorary Senior Lecturer\, Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University.\nDr. Lade will briefly present two recent projects with time afterwards for discussion. This lecture is informal and you are welcome to bring a lunch. \nPotential feedbacks between loss of biosphere integrity and climate change\nThe terrestrial and marine biospheres are important sinks for carbon dioxide. Human actions that undermine the integrity of the biosphere\, such as biodiversity loss\, risk undermining the biosphere’s capacity to maintain this store of carbon. Here\, we investigate the risk that loss of biosphere integrity will amplify climate-carbon cycle feedbacks. Interactions between mechanisms of biosphere integrity\, such as biodiversity\, and climate change are highly uncertain\, and are rarely implemented in climate models. We therefore extend a previous stylized dynamical model of the global carbon cycle to include interactions with biosphere integrity. Our model constitutes a study of the interactions between the two core planetary boundaries: climate change and biosphere integrity. \nResilience offers escape from trapped thinking on poverty alleviation\nThe poverty trap concept has encouraged widespread recognition that poverty can persist. Yet interventions intended to push the rural poor out of poverty traps can fail unexpectedly\, with ecological and social consequences that reinforce poverty. Policy and research on poverty and its alleviation must move beyond a one-dimensional understanding of poverty traps to incorporate knowledge on the complex and dynamic social-ecological environments in which rural poor live. Extending existing poverty trap models\, we construct multidimensional poverty trap models to: understand the consequences of these diverse poverty-environment relationships; and navigate among the diverse poverty alleviation strategies\, such as transformative change\, that may be required. We use resilience thinking’s perspectives on social-ecological system dynamics to help formulate these models.
