SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Dead shells speak: detecting unsuspected ecosystem change without being there
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: Dead shells speak: detecting unsuspected ecosystem change without being there\nSpeaker: Susan Kidwell\, University of Chicago \nAbstract:One of the major challenges for environmental management and conservation biology is simply discovering ‘what was natural’ before human impacts. This problem is especially pressing in marine systems\, where biological monitoring and other records are brief or lacking. This question can be tackled locally in a geologically common-sensical way. First\, we compare local dead-shell assemblages — sieved from the surface mixed layer — to a census of the local living community\, identifying which species occur only as dead individuals (suggesting their populations have waned) and those that occur only alive\, despite having mineralized tissues that should leave a trace\, suggesting they are new arrivals to the habitat or region. We can then “age un-mix” the dead-shell assemblage using radiocarbon or other methods\, which permits us to establish when taxa declined (or increased) relative to local timelines of natural and cultural stressors. This simple approach\, strongly supported by meta-analysis and mechanistic modeling\, provides a powerful tool for recognizing ecological change retrospectively. Importantly\, it has the power to exonerate as well as to incriminate human activities. The method will be illustrated with some case studies from around the world.\n. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Recording phenology: tracking changing life cycles in a warming world
DESCRIPTION:Join researchers Abby Yancy and Dr. Mason Heberling from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s Section of Botany to learn about their ongoing research on climate change’s impacts on the timing of plant flowering\, or phenology\, in our region. This interactive workshop invites community members to contribute to this research through Nature’s Notebook\, an online platform where anyone can upload their observations of plant and animal life cycles to a national database. In this program\, you’ll learn how to record these types of phenological observations and set up a long-term monitoring site in your backyard or beyond. \nThis program is currently available both in-person at Powdermill Nature Reserve in Rector\, PA and via Zoom. Please register for either in person or virtual attendance below. \n\nIn-Person Attendance at Powdermill\n1795 Route 381\nRector\, PA 15677\n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”111383″]\n\n\nVirtual Attendance via Zoom\nZoom link will be emailed to you\n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”111384″]

SUMMARY:An Earth Day Evening with Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad
DESCRIPTION:The Warhol and Carnegie Museum of Natural History welcome back Jad Abumrad\, founder and co-host of NPR’s Radiolab as well as composer and producer. Drawing on Radiolab episodes\, and in conversation with Dr. Nicole Heller\, associate curator of Anthropocene Studies at Carnegie Museum of Natural History\, the program will explore Abumrad’s creative process\, how Radiolab bridges science\, art\, and humanities in storytelling\, and the power of this approach for interpreting the complex social-natural science needed for sustaining a healthy planet. Abumrad has received three Peabody Awards for Radiolab\, and was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2011. \nPre-registration is required. This event takes place at Carnegie Library Lecture Hall.\n \n\nPlease note: Doors open at 6 p.m. For your safety and the safety of those around you\, all those attending this performance must show proof of a Covid-19 vaccination (final vaccine must be dated at least 14 days prior to the performance) at their time of entry with a valid ticket.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Modern mineralogy at the Smithsonian NMNH
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: Modern mineralogy at the Smithsonian NMNH\nSpeaker: Gabriela Farfan\, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History \nAbstract:The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History is renowned for its National Gem and Mineral Collection that encompasses the American “crown jewels\,” such as the Hope Diamond\, world class mineral specimens\, and hundreds of thousands of reference specimens for use in research. This presentation will be a tour of some of the most recent highlights that have been added to the National collection\, as well as a behind-the-scenes tour of modern mineralogical research being done by Dr. Gabriela Farfan and her colleagues in the Department of Mineral Sciences. The first research example is a gem science project on the origin of trapiche-like inclusion patterns in quartz from Inner Mongolia\, China. The second is an example of environmental biomineralogy and how we can use crystallography and mineralogy to learn more about how coral skeletons and mollusk shells grow under changing aquatic environments.\n. \nRegister Now
