SUMMARY:Film Screening: 8 Billion Angels
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Terry Spahr will be presenting a sneak preview and Q&A of his new film 8 Billion Angels. Join him from 4-6pm on campus at CSU in Clark\, room A207\, \nView the preview here \nFilmmakers Satement:\n“In my lifetime I have witnessed remarkable changes in humanity’s growth\, in prosperity\, lifespan\, and in sheer numbers across the globe. \nAs a child in the 1970’s\, I saw the unintended consequences of this growth near my home in Philadelphia where pollution clogged the same Delaware River so celebrated for Washington’s crossing\, huge landfills for garbage fouled the landscape close to Independence Hall\, and masses of cars produced smog-filled air as they navigated roads designed centuries ago for far fewer people. \nDespite awakening to our environmental pollution problem\, giving rise to recycling\, renewable energy\, land conservation and environmental awareness and stewardship\, we now see that no amount of technology\, voluntary reduction in consumption\, or conservation can halt the greater forces propelling us toward climate change\, ocean acidification\, deforestation and a host of other natural catastrophes. All of our efforts\, up until now\, have amounted to stop-gap measures that distract us from the fact that we add 80 million more people every year to the earth\, who together consume more resources faster than the world can replenish\, and emit more waste than the earth can naturally absorb. \nThat is why I decided to stop talking about it and do something\, dedicating my time and money to telling the truth about the problem\, and sharing the hope of real solutions in the stories of everyday people. After all\, it is only when we are not afraid to name a problem\, confront it and talk openly and honestly about it\, that we can begin to fix it. \nIt is critical to offer an alternate vision for the future. If we\, as individuals\, families and nations\, band together by pursuing smaller families\, supporting the worldwide adoption of accessible and affordable family planning\, and strengthening our global commitment to the education and empowerment of women and girls\, we will not only bring tremendous social justice\, economic prosperity and health equity to billions\, but we will unequivocally restore the environment. \nJoin me in on this first step of my mission to ensure a planet that provides a just\, safe and sustainable future for everyone.” \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Borders and Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:‘Borders and Biodiversity’ \nThe complex impact geopolitical borders\, other types of borders (state\, protected area)\, and human conflicts have in impacting conservation and global biodiversity. This panel is especially timely considering the impacts the United States/Mexican border wall is likely to have on the immense biodiversity that exists in this region of the world. However\, this topic will not be limited to this particular issue\, instead\, we use it as an example of the types of issues we hope to illuminate with this discussion. \nModerator \nGeorge Wittemyer\, Associate Professor in the Department of Fish\, Wildlife\, and Conservation Biology\, CSU \nPanelists \nStewart Breck\, Research Wildlife Biologist for APHIS\, USDA \nHarry Greene\, Emeritus Facility\, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, Cornell University \nJoel Berger\, Barbara Cox Anthony University Chair in the Department of Fish\, Wildlife\, and Conservation Biology\, CSU \nKristen Ruegg\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology\, CSU

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Anna Bergstrom "Alpine glaciers of the McMurdo Dry Valleys"
DESCRIPTION:Alpine glaciers of the McMurdo Dry Valleys: how are they changing and why do we care?\nWhen we think of “glaciers” and “Antarctica”\, frequently we think about melt and change. But in a place that is so cold and for relatively small glaciers\, are they even changing? And how? I’ll discuss results of my PhD research on how dust in the McMurdo Dry Valleys influences melt of the glaciers and the impacts of melt on the glaciers themselves as well as the surrounding ecosystem.

SUMMARY:Managing the Planet: Seeing Earth through the Flames
DESCRIPTION:Seeing Earth Through the Flames: How Climate Change is Contributing to Catastrophic Fires \nJoin us for a panel discussion on the complex relationship between wildfire and climate change. \nDocumented warming and drying of climate over the last several decades have significantly increased fire-season fuel aridity\, and fostered an environment favorable for devasting fires. In addition\, the long fire season enables insect infestations to be more effective at killing and drying out large expanses of trees\, which become the available fuel for ignition by lightning strikes. As fire season is now two-and-a-half months longer than it was a half a century ago\, the threat to biodiversity\, the global hydrological cycle\, and global climate is ominous. \nOur CSU panelists will discuss how climate change is manipulating the shape of our planet through fire and the implications this has on environment and society. \nWhere: Avogadro’s Number (605 S Mason Street Fort Collins\, Colorado 80524) from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday\, October 23rd\, 2019. Free of charge and open to the public \nPanelists: \n\nFrancesca Cortufo: Department of Soil and Crop Sciences\nCamille Stevens-Rumann: Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship\nRuss Schumacker: Department of Atmospheric Sciences\nTerrence Iverson: Department of Economics\n\nModerator: Gene Kelly\, SoGES Faculty Research Liaison\, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and Associate Dean of Extension. \nThe panel discussion\, part of a Managing the Planet series\, is free of charge and open to the public.
