SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Resilience and adaptation to climate change and environmental shifts in ancient Egypt and Nubia
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: Resilience and adaptation to climate change and environmental shifts in ancient Egypt and Nubia- the 4.2 ka BP and 3.2 ka BP events reconsidered\nSpeakers: Nadine Moeller and Emilie Sarrazin \nIn the history of ancient Egypt\, two periods of important societal change have often been linked to major climatic events: the transition from the Old Kingdom to the First Intermediate Period\, connected with the so-called “4.2 ka BP event\,” and the end of the New Kingdom\, roughly associated with the “3.2 ka BP event.” In both instances\, seemingly unprecedented periods of aridification are thought to have had a direct impact on the (dis)organization of ancient societies in Egypt\, Nubia\, and the broader Near East. While the appeal of such a theory is undeniable\, the proxy data on which this narrative is based are rarely critically assessed\, and the link between the environmental and historical data is rarely conclusively made. \nThis lecture proposes to re-examine the evidence for both climatic and sociocultural changes at the end of the Old and the New Kingdoms in Egypt and Nubia\, with a particular focus on settlement data. The growth\, contraction\, shifting\, and abandonment of sites often reflect important changes happening beyond their bounds. In this regard\, the benefits and limitations of using proxy data to explain changes in those settlement patterns will be reviewed\, particularly when these changes coincided with periods traditionally associated with societal “collapse” in the scholarly literature. \nRegister Now \nEvent photograph copyright Gregory Marouard

SUMMARY:Super Science Saturday: Polar Party
DESCRIPTION:Chill out and celebrate the coldest days of the year with your family at the museum! Follow a scavenger hunt of frosty clues to learn how plants and animals have adapted to survive in polar environments. Plus\, try our rockhopper penguin rock course and chat with museum staff about polar bears and Dippy the dinosaur.  \n\n\n[swaddtocarttimed site=”6″ group=”279″ sw_msg_add_to_cart=”Items have been added.Proceed to Cart.“]\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors\n Super Science Saturdays are sponsored by PA Cyber\, TribLIVE\, and Tender Care Learning Centers\, a proud partner of Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Understanding the Mid-Atlantic Flora...One Specimen at a Time
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: Understanding the Mid-Atlantic Flora…One Specimen at a Time\nSpeakers: Cindy Skema\, Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania \nPlant collections and their archiving in herbaria form a cornerstone in the foundation of plant science studies. We will discuss the why\, how\, and where of this work\, as well as the process of digitization\, i.e.\, how we bring these invaluable specimens into the digital realm. The Mid-Atlantic Megalopolis (MAM) Project\, a National Science Foundation funded collaboration between 13 institutions including Carnegie Museum of Natural History\, has enabled the digitization of >1.2 million specimens since 2016 and the creation of a virtual consortium of herbaria throughout the Mid-Atlantic. I will introduce the project\, its participants\, and outcomes. We will end with a consideration of Ripariosida hermaphrodita (Virginia mallow)\, a case study that uses MAM data to better understand the biology of a plant that is threatened in the Mid-Atlantic region. \nPhoto description:\nClose-up of a high resolution image of an herbarium specimen of Cornus florida (flowering dogwood)\, taken as part of the MAM Project’s herbarium digitization efforts.
