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: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 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: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: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.
