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.
