SUMMARY:Bananapocalypse: Externalities in the Un/Making of Plantation Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Plantation regimes confront a serious challenge in the 21st century. For every commodity\, there are multiple externalities that are hidden and unaccounted for. Drawing on fieldwork between the Philippines and Japan\, this lecture will argue that industry members depend not only on the externalities themselves\, but also on the conceit that externalities remain external. Focusing on pesticide drift\, food waste\, and soil pathogens\, this lecture will discuss how\, when\, and why the doubling back of externalities happens in the context of a powerful\, but also desperate plantation economy operating within the increasingly constrained environmental conditions of this century. \nBio: Alyssa Paredes is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Her work appears in Ethnos\, the Journal of Political Ecology\, and Food\, Culture & Society\, as well as in the edited collections The Promise of Multispecies Justice and Feral Atlas: The More-than-Human Anthropocene. She is also co-editor of Halo-Halo Ecologies: The Emergent Environments Behind Filipino Food\, under contract with the University of Hawaii Press. She holds a PhD from Yale University. \n\nEvent Details\nThis event is taking place at Carnegie Museum of Natural History in the Earth Theater.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Our Changing Ohio River: Climate\, Water Quality\, and Harmful Algal Blooms
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Our Changing Ohio River:  Climate\, Water Quality\, and Harmful Algal Blooms”\n\nSpeaker: Emily Elliott\, University of Pittsburgh.  \nThe Ohio River basin is not only vast\, but its waterways are a vital economic\, ecological\, and recreational resource for the 15 states within basin boundaries.  Yet\, a half-century after the Clean Water Act\, major challenges remain to make the Ohio River fishable\, swimmable\, and drinkable. For example\, in 2015 and 2019 unprecedented blooms of the toxin-producing harmful algal bloom\, Microcystis aeruginosa\, extended along 600 and 300 miles of the mainstem Ohio River\, respectively. Given the unusual nature of these extensive blooms and the potential impacts to human and ecological health\, it is imperative to understand factors contributing to bloom formation. I will highlight ecological\, hydrological\, and climatic changes in the Ohio River over the past 40 years and explore how these factors may be interacting to fundamentally change the ecology and biogeochemistry of the Ohio River. Long-term trends in flow and two key nutrients that contribute to algal bloom proliferation (nitrogen\, phosphorous) are evaluated using a U.S. Geological Survey model called Weighted Regressions on Time\, Discharge\, and Season (WRTDS). Our model results are placed in the context of current river management strategies\, efforts to curb nutrient pollution\, and a basin-wide push for federal designation as a restoration target.   \nThis event will take place Monday\, September 25\,2023 at Noon in person at Earth Theater and online via Zoom. \nSeminar 158 \nClick here to join the webinar live on September 25 at 12:00 p.m. \nClick here to download the program.\n.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Academia and Indigenous Communities: Opening the Doors to Collaborative Research and Community-Driven Projects
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Academia and Indigenous Communities: Opening the Doors to Collaborative Research and Community-Driven Projects”\n\nSpeaker: Jessie Ryker-Crawford\, Institute of American Indian Arts.  \nAn honest assessment of research practices and methodologies often leads to new and innovative strategies that address inclusion and accessibility between researchers and host communities. Collaborative research projects\, in particular\, allow for a point of entry for ongoing foundational building and networking between institutions and host community organizations—resulting in the long-lasting relationships that are so key to deep research.  \nThis presentation will explore how initial contacts can be made\, facilitating co-advisory groups that can formulate effective and meaningful research projects for all involved\, soliciting community engagement\, and the dissemination of research knowledge and material to a wider community audience.  \nStories of events – also known as case studies – will play heavily in the sharing of insights\, pitfalls\, time-to-stand-up-brush-it-off-and-continue instances\, and glorious successes. \nThis event will take place on Indigenous People’s Day\, Monday\, October 9\,2023 at Noon in person at Earth Theater. \nClick here to download the program. \nSeminar 159 \n.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: a seed a deer a seed
DESCRIPTION:A seed a deer a seed (2023) is a short film by Marianne Hoffmeister Castro that examines the conservation efforts at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (Austin\, TX). The film threads together stories and modalities of care and management of local ecosystems while bringing forth the alliances and challenges between plant\, animal and human communities. What are the ecological alliances that need to be sustained in time? How long can the land management efforts continue to preserve balance on the local ecosystems? Who decides who needs to keep on living or who needs to be eradicated? By formulating these questions throughout the film\, a seed a deer a seed becomes a meeting place to reflect on the human impact on managed landscapes but also on the entanglements with vegetal lives and nonhuman animals as agents in these conservation efforts. \nThe screening will be followed by a conversation with the filmmaker and Rachel Reeb\, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. \nTree News is a newsletter and event series produced by artists Erin Mallea and Paper Buck (Pittsburgh & Philadelphia\, PA). Tree News focuses on tree and forest stories as entry points into discussions of environmental justice\, ecological orientations in art practice\, and climate change adaptation. Tree News profiles trees\, people\, places and projects to serve as a platform to share resources\, build relationships\, and develop deeper understandings of the world around us. \nTouchstone Cinema is the curatorial project of moving-image artists Inbar Hagai & Rebecca Shapass. The ongoing screening series is dedicated to facilitating discourse around artworks that challenge and push the cinematic form. \n\nEvent Details\nThis event is taking place at Carnegie Museum of Natural History in the Earth Theater. Please see museum staff for a map or assistance in locating the theater. \n\nPresented in partnership with\nTree News & Touchstone Cinema

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Let’s Talk About Climate Change! Outcomes of Climate in Rural Systems Partnership (CRSP)
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Let’s Talk About Climate Change! Outcomes of Climate in Rural Systems Partnership (CRSP)”\n\nSpeaker: Nicole Heller and Laurie Giarratani\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History.  \nThe Climate and Rural Systems Partnership (CRSP) operates at the intersection of three ideas: 1) museum resources are valuable for understanding environmental change\, 2) museums are underserving rural audiences\, and 3) complex socio-scientific environmental change topics are deeply connected to social decision making in rural communities. Over the last four years\, educators and researchers from Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) and the University of Pittsburgh have collaborated with community partners in a research practice partnership (RPP) that supports professional networking\, reflection and learning.  The project is centered at two community hubs – one at Powdermill Nature Reserve and the other at Mercer County Conservation District. Our collective work supports socially safe\, science-based discussions about human-caused climate change and is building regional capacity for information exchange across organizations. Through this partnership we seek to improve methodologies and practices for practitioners to effectively address climate change issues with their audiences\, including the museum’s work with its audiences. In this talk\, we will share background theory and practice that motivated this learning science project\, describe how the RPP works\, and discuss some of our findings. We will also talk about how this research is informing our vision for the long-term role of the museum in regional climate empowerment.  \nThis event will take place Monday\, October 23\,2023 at Noon in person in the CMP Board Room and online via Zoom. \nTalks are free to attend in person. Registration is required for online access. \nRegister Now \nClick here to download the program. \nSeminar 160 \n.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Awareness of the Natural World Through the Lens of Amphibian and Reptile Ecology at Powdermill Nature Reserve
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Awareness of the Natural World Through the Lens of Amphibian and Reptile Ecology at Powdermill Nature Reserve”\nSpeaker: Dr. Walter E. Meshaka\, State Museum of Pennsylvania.  \nCuriosity brings awareness\, and\, awareness\, in turn\, makes caring possible. A protected resource\, Powdermill Nature Reserve\, in the northern Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania\, provides an uncommon opportunity to understand the natural world in short-term and uninterrupted long-term research endeavors otherwise not possible. Presciently\, Dr. M. Graham Netting understood the importance of such a place when he undertook the acquisition of the station in 1956. A beneficiary of this vision\, Dr. Walter E. Meshaka\, Jr. has\, with the kind support of Powdermill staff\, since 2002 undertaken research projects in the ecology of amphibians and reptiles at the station that have involved museum specimens and mark-recapture of individuals. Referring specifically to a few of the 16 published papers to date\, Dr. Meshaka hopes to convey how the combination of traits comprising the Powdermill Nature Reserve can provide and await our awareness of this part of our natural world\, its meaningfulness\, and the importance of its stewardship.    \nThis event will take place Monday\, October 30\, 2023 at Noon in person at Earth Theater. \nClick here to download the program. \nSeminar 161 \n.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Impacts of Extreme Warming Events on Early Eocene Mammals and Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Impacts of Extreme Warming Events on Early Eocene Mammals and Ecosystems”\n\nSpeaker: Abigail Carroll\, University of Pittsburgh. \nHow might animals and ecosystems respond to today’s warming planet? Looking to Earth’s past may help us answer this question. A series of extreme warming events during the early Eocene (beginning 56 million years ago) are analogous in many ways to present-day global warming. Paleontological investigations conducted over the past decade have also uncovered a curious response to these warming events: a brief\, but significant\, decrease in body size for some mammal groups\, including the earliest horses. Furthermore\, the extent of body size decrease appears to be related to the magnitude of the warming event. In this talk\, we will look at a fossil record of these events from the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming\, and consider the mechanism(s) which may have led to the observed body size changes.  \nThis event will take place Monday\, November 13\, 2023 at Noon in person at Earth Theater and is free to attend. \nClick here to download the program. \nSeminar 162 \n.

SUMMARY:Educator Workshop: STEELS Standards and Project-Based Learning
DESCRIPTION:Using the exhibition Life in One Cubic Foot as inspiration\, explore activities and lessons to teach learners about the dynamics of biodiversity and ecosystems. We’ll visit the exhibition to discover what a cubic foot of land or water reveals about the diversity of life on the planet with the help of “biocubes”\, one-cubic-foot frames used to survey animals and plants living in an ecosystem. Meet with other formal and informal educators to think about ways we can support each other in planning for the new STEELS standards and their focus on project-based learning. \nLife in One Cubic Foot is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. \nThis workshop welcomes educators from all subject areas and grade levels. \nIf more than 50% of your students qualify for free or reduced-price school lunch\, your school or organization will be eligible for a scholarship towards a museum field trip after the workshop.  \nFunding is available to reimburse your school or district for substitute teacher costs on the day that you attend this workshop. \n\n\n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”126856″]

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: A time-machine to Africa: revisiting the collections of the Pulitzer Expedition to Angola at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “A Time-Machine to Africa: Revisiting the Collections of the Pulitzer Expedition to Angola at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History”\n\nSpeaker: Luis Ceríaco\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History.  \nIn 1930\, the newspaper mogul Ralph Pulitzer funded an expedition to Angola\, southwestern Africa\, for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Aimed at getting specimens of the iconic Giant Sable\, the expedition was comprised of naturalists who assembled impressive zoological\, paleontological and ethnographic collections. These collections are still extant in CMNH and are scientifically relevant to the present day. They served as the basis of the description of new species and are unparalleled testimonies of the Angolan landscape a century ago. While reviewing part of the collections assembled in this expedition\, I started to pull a thread that eventually led me to (re)discover a treasure trove of documentation and specimens. In the last 10 years I’ve been doing research in Angola and collecting in the exact same areas covered by the Pulitzer Expedition. This allows us to compare the landscape evolution\, the loss of biodiversity and the logistics of an early twentieth century expedition with those of today. This story intertwines history and biodiversity and reinforces the value and scientific importance of CMNH collections. Using the CMNH collections as a time-machine\, we will travel back and forth in time and discuss history\, science and conservation in one of Africa’s most biodiverse countries. \nThis event will take place Monday\, December 11\, 2023 at Noon in person at Earth Theater. \nSeminar 163 \n.
