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. An environmental sociologist\, Stephanie specializes in environmental and natural resource sociology\, governance\, and rural development. She is the author of The Price of Nuclear Power: Uranium Communities and Environmental Justice and a co-founder and co-director of the Center for Environmental Justice at CSU. \nBook sales and light refreshments provided.

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

SUMMARY:Managing the Planet: What's biodiversity got to do with it? Nature-based solutions to the climate crisis
DESCRIPTION:Biodiversity loss and the climate change crises must be tackled together or neither will be resolved\, according to experts of two intergovernmental science policy bodies (IPBES-IPCC). Narrowly focused actions to combat climate change can directly and indirectly harm nature\, and vice versa. Nature-based solutions such as restoring carbon and species rich ecosystems can be cheap and effective to implement\, with positive benefits to habitat\, biodiversity\, water quality and societal impacts of jobs and the economy. Synergies integrating technologies such as clean energy with nature-based solutions maximize benefits to society and help meet the Sustainable Development Goals. Panelists will discuss how biodiversity and nature based solutions are key to climate change solutions. \nPanelists:\nChris Funk\, Professor\, Department of Biology\nYoichiro Kanno\, Associate Professor\, Department of Fish\, Wildlife\, and Conservation Biology\nKristen Ruegg\, Associate Professor\, Biology\nAndrew Seidl\, Professor\, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics \nModerator: Gene Kelly\, SoGES Faculty Research Liaison\, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and Associate Dean of Extension \n IPBES – IPCC report    https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/645392

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Ryan Hearty\, Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:“The moral field of environmental engineers in late-twentieth-century United States”\nRyan Hearty\, PhD Candidate\, History of Science and Technology\, Johns Hopkins University \nAccording to the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine\, environmental engineers are uniquely equipped to address several of society’s “grand challenges\,” such as to sustainably supply populations with food\, water\, and energy; to mitigate climate change; to reduce pollution and waste; to create smart cities; and to encourage informed decisions about our shared environments. Yet most of us have a vague understanding of what environmental engineers do and why they do it. Who are these engineers\, and what is their relationship to the “environment” or environmentalism? \nIn this talk\, Ryan will explore how environmental engineers of the 1960s\, 1970s and 1980s dealt with environmental concerns in ways that differed both from other engineering disciplines and from an older generation of sanitary engineers. \nBio:\nRyan Hearty is completing a PhD in history of science and technology at Johns Hopkins University\, where his work focuses on interdisciplinary collaboration in recent engineering fields. Ryan’s dissertation is about water quality management in the United States since 1945 and how experts defined\, monitored\, and modeled water pollution on behalf of state\, regional\, and federal agencies. Before pursuing graduate training in history\, Ryan has worked as an engineer on the radio communications for NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and has a master’s degree in electrical engineering. \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored with Public Lands History Center

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Matthew R. Siegfried
DESCRIPTION:“Slippery when wet: Exploring the hydrosphere beneath the Antarctic ice sheet” \nDr. Matthew R. Siegfried\, Department of Geophysics\, Colorado School of Mines \nBeneath the Antarctic ice sheet lies an almost entirely unexplored water system of interconnected streams\, rivers\, and lakes that transports freshwater and sediment from the interior of Antarctica to the Southern Ocean. This enigmatic hydrosphere\, hidden beneath 10s to 1000s of meters of ice\, also harbors diverse microbial ecosystems and can modify the flow of overlying ice\, but remains poorly understood given our remote observations. In this seminar\, I will trace the history of our investigations into the Antarctic subglacial hydrosphere and discuss two direct-access projects that resulted in in situ exploration and sampling of subglacial aquatic environments. \nRegistration is required- click here to register \nZoom links will be emailed to registered participants
