SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Climate Solutions Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:According to the most recent survey from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communications \, \"62% of Americans say they 'rarely' or 'never' discuss global warming with family and friends.\" (https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications/climate-change-in-the-american-mind-beliefs-attitudes-fall-2024/toc/2/)\n\nYet according to climate scientist and communicator Katharine Hayhoe one of the most important actions we can take is speaking with people about climate change!  (https://youtu.be/FkIVdmnqIIA?si=bBGNwk7pP1KMjuwn)\,\n\nJoin us on Wednesday\, 6/18 at 7pm on Zoom\, for a discussion on how to talk with more people about climate change.  Please bring your ideas and experiences and join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Long-Term Maintenance of Regenerative Agriculture Enhances Climate Resiliency and Supports Soil Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Regenerative agriculture is often associated with restoring key ecosystem services such as nutrient retention\, erosion prevention\, and climate resiliency. There is also an expectation that regenerative agriculture will improve soil biodiversity\, which has important implications for overall ecosystem functioning. Despite these expectations\, there are several unknowns regarding the long-term maintenance of regenerative agriculture and how consistent management may impact soil carbon accrual\, soil food webs\, and climate resiliency.\n\nAs part of the 2025 Summer Lecture Series\, Dr. Christine Sprunger will outline the case for integrating free-living nematodes into the soil health framework to better understand sustainability goals and climate resiliency within agroecosystems.\n\nSprunger is an associate professor of soil health at Michigan State University and is currently serving as interim associate director at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS).\n\nIn her talk at UMBS\, Sprunger will explore how soil carbon and free-living nematode communities shift through time after almost 30 years of regenerative agriculture management. She will demonstrate how nematodes are critical bioindicators of drought events within agroecosystems\, discuss the socio-ecological aspects of regenerative agriculture\, and present ways to engage farmers on climate resiliency topics.\n\nSprunger is a faculty member in the Department of Plant\, Soil\, and Microbial Sciences at MSU and is based at KBS. She also is a member of MSU’s Plant Resilience Institute. Her research focuses on the intersection of agriculture and the environment\, where she investigates how climate change impacts crop production\, nutrient cycling\, soil food webs\, and rhizosphere dynamics. In addition\, much of her work addresses how crop diversity\, perenniality\, and reduced tillage contribute to important ecosystem services such as soil carbon sequestration and nitrogen use efficiency. Sprunger also conducts interdisciplinary research with social scientists to understand farmer perceptions of soil health and climate adaptation. \n\nSprunger holds a Ph.D. in crop and soil sciences and ecology\, evolutionary biology\, and behavior from Michigan State University\, and she received both a B.S. in forest resources and a B.A. in environmental studies from the University of Washington with a minor in human rights.\n\nThe U-M Biological Station — the largest of U-M's campuses at more than 10\,000 forested acres surrounded by lakes — is one of the nation's largest and longest continuously operating field research stations.\n\nFounded in 1909\, the Biological Station supports long-term research and education. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS\, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so our community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free\, public talks are on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston\, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.

SUMMARY:Performance:California Guitar Trio // Kaki King
DESCRIPTION:The universe of guitar knows no boundaries for The California Guitar Trio. Since 1991\, the group has enthralled listeners with a singular sound that fearlessly crisscrosses genres. The trio’s questing spirit drives it to explore the intersections between rock\, jazz\, classical\, and world music. It even throws in the occasional surf or spaghetti Western tune for good measure. Comprised of Bert Lams\, Tom Griesgraber and Paul Richards\, the group has established a unique\, personal connection with audiences. In addition to dazzling musicianship and interplay\, The California Guitar Trio’s shows are full of captivating stories and humor that enable concertgoers to feel like they’re part of the music\, not just spectators.\n\nDubbed by Rolling Stone as \"a genre unto herself\,\" Brooklyn\, NY-based Kaki King has proven to be just that. Her career has taken her all over the world\, sharing stages with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters\, contributing music to award-winning films (Sean Penn's Into The Wild)\, and performing at the Kennedy Center\, the London Jazz Festival\, and the Paris Les Femmes s'en Melent. Her explorations into the guitar and multimedia have led to the creation of groundbreaking work such as The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body\, Modern Yesterdays\, SEI\, and her newest show for audiences of all ages\, BUGS. Kaki continues to create\, perform\, and lend her musical voice to the forefront of contemporary music.
