SUMMARY:Minerals\, metals\, and microbes in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Carla Rosenfeld \nSelenium (Se) critically influences both ecosystem and human health. In modern times\, millions of people are impacted by Se deficiency or toxicity and in geologic history several mass extinctions have been linked to extreme Se deficiency. Additionally\, Se chemistry forms the basis for several paleoenvironmental reconstructions of the Earth’s oxygenation history. Complex interactions between microbial activity and other environmentally relevant elements\, however\, obscure the ability to make accurate predictions and reconstructions. In this seminar\, I will share ongoing research into how microbial activity and interactions with other metals or minerals can drastically alter Se oxidation state and form\, including through biomineralization processes. I will also discuss the important role fungal biominerals can play in improving water quality and environmental remediation in contaminated surface environments.  \nAbout Carla Rosenfeld\nDr. Carla Rosenfeld is currently a Senior Research Associate and Associate Director of the Quantitative Bioelement Imaging Center (QBIC) at Northwestern University. She has a B.S. in Chemistry from McGill University\, and Ph.D. in Soil Science and Biogeochemistry from Pennsylvania State University. Following her Ph.D.\, Carla was a Smithsonian Institution Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Museum of Natural History Department of Mineral Sciences\, and an NSF EAR postdoctoral fellow at University of Minnesota Department of Earth Sciences.  \nCarla is a biogeochemist and biomineralogist whose primary research goals are directed toward understanding the chemical signatures of life and the interactions between living and non-living Earth systems. She aims to connect mechanistic mineralogical studies with ecosystem-scale questions. Her research program addresses essential questions related to biomineral formation and reactivity\, element fate and transport\, and coupled biogeochemical cycles by using cutting-edge analytical geochemistry and geomicrobiology tools.

SUMMARY:How New Minerals Influence Environmental & Materials Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Travis Olds \nEach year\, about 100 new minerals are discovered and accepted by the Commission on New Minerals\, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association. Exploration of abandoned mines and reinvestigation of samples from classic localities have allowed mineralogists to discover more new minerals in the past decade than any before. Although crystal-chemical studies of synthetic materials have increased exponentially over the same period\, some recent new minerals possess remarkably complex atomic arrangements and compositions that provide us with a more thorough understanding of the crystal-chemical features that dictate mineral properties and their environmental behavior. In fact\, Nature is our most skilled experimentalist if you know where to look\, and new mineral descriptions further enrich our understanding of the material world\, promoting technological advancement and fostering better environmental stewardship. To ensure that mineralogy has a strong future will require diligent preservation of mining materials and history\, as well as modernized curation methods and integration of new findings with both public and scientific communities. Looking forward\, predictive mineralogy methods and big-data analysis are ever important approaches to understanding human-mineral interactions in our Anthropocene era. \nAbout Travis Olds\nTravis Olds\, an Upper Peninsula of Michigan native\, is a passionate photographer\, collector and researcher of minerals. Olds obtained his B.Sc. in chemistry from Michigan Technological University in 2012 and received his Ph.D from the University of Notre Dame in 2017\, where he explored the mineralogy and crystal chemistry of uranium. He currently works as a post-doctoral research associate at Washington State University\, leading research efforts of the Department of Energy-funded Actinide Ceramic Materials Laboratory. Olds’ research is focused on the structure-property relationships of minerals and materials\, using spectroscopic\, diffraction and scattering techniques to study them at various length scales. With the help of an international group of friends and colleagues\, Olds has discovered or been involved in the description of 18 new minerals recognized by the IMA Commission on New Minerals\, Nomenclature and Classification.

SUMMARY:Redox controls on the mineralogy of Earth\, Mercury\, and Mars
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kevin Righter \nThe terrestrial planets Earth\, Mercury and Mars exhibit very different surface compositions\, mineralogy and general properties many of which can be explained by oxygen gradients in the inner solar system.  Dr. Righter will use sulfur as an example of the contrasting role of oxygen pressure in controlling the geochemical and mineralogic properties of planets.  He will describe how his experimental studies have helped to understand the behavior of sulfur in each planet\, as well as how this has led to their unique mineralogies.  Emphasis will be placed on how exploration of these planets has led to an enhanced understanding and appreciation of Earth’s geochemistry and mineralogy.  Dr. Righter will also highlight some fruitful areas of future research in experimental petrology. \nAbout Dr. Righter\nDr. Righter is originally from Pittsburgh\, graduated from Haverford/Bryn Mawr College with a degree in Geology\, and was first exposed to planetary science in a summer internship in Houston.  He attended University of Michigan and received an MS degree studying the redox properties of pallasite meteorites.  He then attended the University of California in Berkeley where he carried out field and experimental studies of basic volcanism in western Mexico.  For this PhD thesis work\, he mapped a large region of monogenetic volcanoes near the west coast of Mexico\, and studied a specific basic lava called lamprophyre for its phase relations at high pressure and temperature conditions.  With this background in terrestrial and meteoritic science\, he became a research scientist at the University of Arizona where he carried out experimental studies related to core formation and basaltic magmatism in terrestrial planets and the Moon.  In 2002 he was fortunate to be hired as Antarctic meteorite curator at NASA Johnson Space Center\, where he has been ever since.  Overseeing the Antarctic meteorite collection (>22\,000 meteorites) and managing an experimental petrology lab have allowed him to be engaged in many facets of planetary science in both service and research roles.

SUMMARY:Developing Science and Community through Isotopic Inquiry
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ryan Mathur \nBeyond the scientific functions of defining Earth processes and fingerprinting sources of materials\, the value of stable and radiogenic isotope analyses extends to the cultivation of both cultural knowledge and collaborative relationships. This discussion of the investigation of bronze artifacts from central Europe and China\, silver artifacts from Spain\, stone tools from the northeastern United States\, and the American copper cent\, demonstrates how scientific extraction technologies and different cultural interactions evolved. The progression—from artifact extraction\, to mineral acquisition from museum collections\, to geochemical analyses\, to the dissemination of findings to broader communities—illustrates the highly integrative nature of scientific discovery.  \nAbout Ryan Mathur\nRyan Mathur is professor and chair of Geology at Juniata College.  He earned a B.A. in history and geology from Juniata College in 1997 and Ph.D. in economic geology and isotope geochemistry from the University of Arizona in 2000.  Working on a large variety of domestic and international ore deposits\, his research focuses on the geochronology of sulfide minerals and transition metal isotope geochemistry.  His projects span a diverse range of disciplines including economic geology\, archeology\, history\, geochronology\, hydrogeology\, environmental geology\, petrography\, and pedology.

SUMMARY:Anthropocene Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Still from the short film Leafcutters\nArtist and photographer Catherine Chalmers will join Curator of Photography Dan Leers and Anthropocene Curator Dr. Nicole Heller to discuss Chalmers’ art practice and award-winning short film Leafcutters\, currently featured in Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s Anthropocene Living Room. \nChalmers’ work examines life in the Anthropocene\, the proposed name of the current geological epoch when humans have become the dominant planetary force\, restructuring earth system processes as well as the diversity and abundance of life.  The Anthropocene calls into question the idea that nature and culture are separated. Similarly\, Chalmers’ work blurs the line between natural history and art. She writes in her Artist Statement at CatherineChalmers.com\, “My work is at the intersection of art\, science and nature.  I do extensive research for each of my long-term\, multimedia projects and a direct engagement with the natural world is central to what I do.” \n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”88847″]

SUMMARY:Science and Nature Program and Nature Explorers
DESCRIPTION:A Plastic Handbasket\nPlastics have revolutionized our way of life but also have a devastating effect on our planet. In honor of World Migratory Bird Day’s 2019 theme\, “Protect Birds: Be the Solution to Plastic Pollution\,” we will explore the complexities of plastics and ways that you can help! Learn about inspiring solutions that are beginning to address this problem. After the lecture\, we will head outside to look for some of the birds we are hoping to protect. \nPlastic\, Plastic Everywhere\nWhile the adults listen to a lecture about the dangers of plastic pollution\, we will get our hands dirty cleaning it up! In this active investigation\, collect plastic objects\, sort them\, and figure out why they are bad to leave behind. Then we will work together to turn plastic trash into art! After the program\, we will meet the adults for a walk through the woods.
