SUMMARY:Presentation:Sky Tonight
DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks. This presentation includes how to find the cardinal directions on your own with the North Star\, current and upcoming constellations\, visible planets\, a few deep sky objects depending on the season\, and other interesting astronomical visualizations. If you want to be able to look up from your own backyard and know what to look for\, this is the show for you. \n\nThe state-of-the-art Planetarium & Dome Theater at the U-M Museum of Natural History transports visitors beyond distant stars and back in time from the comfort of reclining seats. Tickets $8. Tickets are available on the day of the show at the Museum Store.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Dr. Naomi Levin\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Linking human evolution to environmental change is nearly as old as the concept of evolution. As soon as fossils of early humans were identified\, questions were posed about how they fit into a story of changing vegetation and climate. Did human evolution occur amidst a backdrop of (or in part because of) expanding grasses and the development of hot\, arid environments? Answering these questions rigorously requires many different types of data on a range of spatial and temporal scales. The collective communities of paleoanthropologists\, paleontologists\, archaeologists\, geologists\, ecologists\, and climate scientists have made huge strides in addressing these questions in the past 25 years. Among the many data types used\, the stable isotope composition of soil carbonates and mammal teeth has been a key resource for exploring the links between human evolution and environmental change. Soil carbonates and teeth have been so useful in part because the materials are abundant at most hominin sites and because the isotopic data from them can be readily aggregated to address landscape\, ecosystem\, and continental scale questions. In this talk I will showcase new datasets from fossil teeth and soil carbonate\, including triple oxygen and clumped isotope datasets\, that help refine our understanding of environmental change in eastern Africa and answer long-standing questions about the dynamics of temperature\, aridity and vegetation.
