SUMMARY:Managing the Planet: Changing Times in Washington DC: Opportunities and Challenges for CSU
DESCRIPTION:What do the new Presidential Administration and Congress mean for students\, faculty\, staff and the future of higher education? A very large Covid-19 bill has already been signed into law\, and an even larger bill to address national infrastructure needs has been introduced. Both have numerous provisions that will affect CSU and other universities\, including support for COVID mitigation and big funding increases for climate change R&D\, and green\, sustainable infrastructure. Additional legislative and executive branch action is expected over the next several years on many issues of importance to higher education\, including student debt and visas for international students. Which changes will be the most significant for the CSU community? How should CSU respond? Does the new emphasis on climate change have implications for R&D in other areas? Our panel of CSU leaders will discuss the changes underway in Washington and how these are altering the landscape for research\, education and engagement in land grant institutions and other U.S. Universities. \n*Due to a conflict\, CSU President Joyce McConnell will be unable to participate on this panel. However\, we are excited to announce our new panelist\, Alan Rudolph\, Vice President for Research at CSU. \nPanelists:\nMary Pedersen: Provost and Executive Vice President\nBlake Naughton: Vice President for Engagement and Extension\nAlan Rudolph: Vice President for Research \nModerator: Gene Kelly\, SoGES Faculty Research Liaison\, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and Associate Dean of Extension

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Dr. Andrew Fountain
DESCRIPTION:“Dynamic Antarctica\, More Than Just a Slab of Ice”\nDr. Andrew Fountain\, Professor of Geography and Geology\, Portland State University \nAntarctica is a dynamic and\, in places\, a rapidly changing ice sheet with global implications for sea level rise. Subglacial lakes dot the underside of the ice sheet\, some with microbial life\, and others filling and draining. Rapid rivers of moving ice drain the ice sheet into the ocean\, impeded by ice shelves that\, in places\, are destabilizing and collapsing. Dr. Fountain’s presentation will discuss the history of our evolving understanding of the ice sheet from an immobile slab of ice to the dynamic and rapidly changing ice sheet that we understand today.  \nRegistration required- Click here to register \nZoom links will be emailed to registered participants \n

SUMMARY:Managing the Planet: Planning for Climate Change: Lessons from the Dust Bowl
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAs our planet warms\, periods of extreme weather are expected to increase. While all weather extremes\, such as flooding rains and heat waves\, provide unique challenges\, an increase in the occurrence of extreme\, multi-year drought will have the greatest impact on natural\, agricultural and social-ecological systems. The 1930’s “Dust Bowl” provides both a historic example of this type of weather extreme and an opportunity to learn from the past as we prepare for a more water-limited future. Water scarcity is already a contentious issue for society and extended periods of severe drought in the future will likely lead to instability in people’s jobs\, changes to landscapes and wildlife\, and an unsustainable use of water from other sources. \nPanelists:\nBecky Bolinger: Department of Atmospheric Science\, Colorado Climate Center\,\nAlan Knapp: Department of Biology\, Graduate Degree Program in Ecology\nSuellen Melzer: Department of Soil and Crop Science & School of Global Environmental Sustainability\nDouglas Sheflin: Department of History\, Public Lands History Center \nModerator: Gene Kelly\, SoGES Faculty Research Liaison\, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and Associate Dean of Extension

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:"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.

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.
