SUMMARY:Managing the Planet- POLLUTION IS EVERYWHERE: what are solutions?
DESCRIPTION:Pollution is everywhere- from the highest reaches of our atmosphere to the darkest depths of our oceans. Pollution has enormous human costs; particulate matter in the air we breathe\, organic pollutants and heavy metals in our food supply and drinking water\, and noise pollution that affects human\, wildlife\, and environmental quality. Join us for a panel discussion on the adverse effects of pollution and how we can help undo our own doing. This panel comprised of CSU faculty will provide insight on different pollution sources we encounter and how their research contributes towards prevention and solutions. \nSara Bombaci\, Assistant Professor\, Fish\, Wildlife\, and Conservation Biology\nThomas Borch\, Professor\, Soil and Crop Sciences\nJohn Mola\, Assistant Professor\, Forest & Rangeland Stewardship\nJeffrey Pierce\, Professor\, Atmospheric Science \nModerator: Gene Kelly\, SoGES Faculty Research Liaison\, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and Associate Dean of Extension

SUMMARY:Designing with other creatures
DESCRIPTION:Synthetic genomics is an emerging field that aims to design and build larger stretches of DNA than ever before\, at the scale of chromosomes and even whole genomes. How does this field invite new ways of working with other-than-human creatures? Ways of thinking about multispecies flourishing as a scientific aim? About how diverse perspectives—art and design\, social science and humanities\, food and fermentation—are necessary to address those questions? Join us for a panel discussion among a synthetic biologist\, a social scientist\, a designer\, and a cheese specialist about designing with other organisms. As even more food for thought\, we’ll have cheese to taste and a custom farmhouse ale from Odell on tap. \nThis event is co-sponsored by SoGES\, the NSF-UKRI co-funded “Future Organisms” project\, Odell\, and Murray’s Cheese. \nPANELISTS –\nGrace Chuang: Freelance Art Director and Marketer\nDr. Arjun Khakar: Assistant Professor\, College of Natural Sciences and Plant Synthetic Biologist – Colorado State University\nDr. Emily Scher: Lead Computational Biologist – Neochromosome\nJosh Windsor: Affineur – Murrays Cheese \nMODERATOR –\nJane Calvert: Professor\, Science and Technology Studies – University of Edinburgh

SUMMARY:Just Transitions: Expanding the Scope
DESCRIPTION:The goals of this webinar are to explore: a) whether the strategy of just transition can be applied across all transitions; b) whether the strategy of just transition can initiate\, as well as respond to transitions; c) the intersection of the just transition strategy and ecosocial movements; and d) the implications of the strategy’s mainstreaming. We hope that this will be the first of a series of events that will allow a broader range of advocates\, representatives\, researchers\, and policy makers\, starting with our region\, to explore just transition and sustainability politics. \nPanelists: \nEmber S.

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Dr. Shane Kanatous
DESCRIPTION:ANTARCTIC LECTURE SERIES PRESENTS: The Changing Ecosystems and its Effect on Top Level Predators in the Antarctic \nDr. Shane Kanatous studies the physiological adaptations of diving mammals in extreme environments. When seals are most active\, they are holding their breath\, their muscles receive little to no blood flow and they rely solely on internal stores of oxygen and fuel to sustain aerobic metabolism. Dr. Kanatous investigates the types of fuels being utilized in the working muscles of Weddell seals in Antarctica and how those fuel stores are regulated in order to predict the plasticity of their energy metabolism to meet the demands of a changing environment.

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Dr. Ted Scambos
DESCRIPTION:ANTARCTIC LECTURE SERIES PRESENTS: Recent Scientific Advances for the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration \nTuesday\, November 15 | 6:00-7:00 pm | Old Town Library \nDr. Ted Scambos will report on how field work\, both offshore and onshore at Thwaites Glacier\, has shed new light on ocean conditions and update attendees on the recent history of the massive ice outlet. The talk will review the progress of ITGC\, highlight recent field work and results\, and discuss the future field and publication plans. \nThe Thwaites Glacier is roughly the same size as Florida or Britain\, and the amount of ice flowing out of this 120-kilometer-wide region has nearly doubled over the past 30 years. \nThe International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) is a joint research project between The US National Science Foundation and UK Natural Environment Research Council to investigate one of the most unstable glaciers in Antarctica. ITGC is the largest joint UK-US project undertaken on the southern continent in 70 years\, and covers research across Thwaites Glacier and its adjacent ocean region; the glacier flows into Pine Island Bay\, part of Amundsen Sea.

SUMMARY:Author Reception: Stephanie Malin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an author reception celebrating the launch of  “Building Something Better: Environmental Crisis and the Promise of Community Change” \nSociologists Stephanie A. Malin and Meghan Elizabeth Kallman demonstrate how communities adapt in the face of crises and explain that sociology can help us understand how and why they do this challenging work. Tackling neoliberalism head-on\, these communities are making big changes by crafting distributive and regenerative systems that depart from capitalist approaches. The vivid case studies presented range from activist water protectors to renewable energy cooperatives led by Indigenous peoples and nations. Alongside these studies\, Malin and Kallman present incisive critiques of colonialism\, extractive capitalism\, and neoliberalism\, while demonstrating how sociology’s own disciplinary traditions have been complicit with those ideologies– and must expand beyond them. \nStephanie A. Malin\, Phd is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Abigail Jackson
DESCRIPTION:My nematode teacher: Lessons from Antarctic soil nematodes on how to isolate from Covid \nAbigail Jackson\, MSc Student\, Department of Biology\, Brigham Young University: BSc\, Colorado State University \nAbby will discuss impacts of COVID-19 on Antarctic fieldwork and the unexpected opportunities. During the 2021/22 austral summer\, Abby spent 4 months servicing stream gages and collecting soil samples with the NSF Long Term Ecological Research program in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica. A quarantine period prior to reaching the US McMurdo Station required channeling her “inner nematode” (microscopic worm-like animals) that exist in extreme and isolated pockets of the ice free region. Abby’s research is a story of soil nematode populations isolated for thousands of years due to past climate change. \nRegistration is required- click here to register

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Diane McKnight
DESCRIPTION:Using Narrative to Develop Environmental Empathy: Stories about Polar Regions and Beyond in the Long Term Ecological Research Schoolyard Book Series \nDiane McKnight\, Professor\, Department of Civil\, Environmental and Architectural Engineering\, University of Colorado Boulder \n\nEfforts to communicate with children about climate change and ecological themes often emphasize environmental threats\, especially in polar regions. For some children\, however\, this approach can backfire\, as they try to avoid continued exposure to problems they cannot solve\, such as the threats to polar bears. Another innovative approach is to promote the development of environmental empathy and literacy through the use of narrative. Dr. McKnight will discuss the use of narrative in the Schoolyard Book series produced by the LTER Network program to encourage children to learn about animals and habitats that they may not have the opportunity to see or visit.\n\nRegistration is required- click here to register\nZoom links will be emailed to registered participants

SUMMARY:Climate Intervention to Cool a Warming Planet
DESCRIPTION:Climate Intervention to Cool a Warming Planet\nCan science fix climate change? Is it ethical? \nClimate change is occurring and its impacts on ecosystems\, humans\, and the economy are growing.  Yet\, 30 years of international negotiations have thus far failed to address climate change through policy and mitigation in a way that will avert profound consequences. This reality is leading to the consideration of climate intervention – deliberate\, large-scale intervention in the climate system designed to counter global warming or offset some of its effects. Climate intervention could well be in our collective future\, especially as the impacts of climate change become more severe and climate intervention technologies are within reach. \nOur April 5th panel will focus on and discuss the results of a recent report produced by the U.S. National Research Council on “Solar Radiation Management” – a specific form of climate intervention that would increase the reflectivity of the atmosphere\, thereby decreasing the amount of solar energy in the Earth system and cooling the planet. Our panelists will discuss scientific\, technical\, governance and ethical issues surrounding this controversial concept. \nPanelists: \nJim Hurrell\, Professor and Scott Presidential Chair in Environmental Science and Engineering\nKen Shockley\, Professor and Holmes Rolston III Chair in Environmental Ethics and Philosophy \nModerated by Peter Backlund\, Associate Director\, School of Global Environmental Sustainability
