SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Dynamic Earth
DESCRIPTION:The show explores the inner workings of Earth’s climate system. With visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations\, this cutting-edge production follows a trail of energy that flows from the Sun into the interlocking systems that shape our climate: the atmosphere\, oceans\, and the biosphere.\n\nAudiences will ride along on swirling ocean and wind currents\, dive into the heart of a monster hurricane\, come face-to-face with sharks and gigantic whales\, and fly into roiling volcanoes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Elevating the Role of Indigenous Knowledge in NERRS Conservation and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Coastal wetlands across the National Estuarine Research Reserve System provide a variety of essential habitats for migratory and threatened/endangered birds throughout the Pacific region. They are used by millions of birds each year to breed\, rest\, refuel and overwinter. Human communities also value these areas for subsistence\, cultural\, commercial\, and recreational activities. Despite the benefits they provide\, estuarine habitats are being lost at accelerating rates.\n\nTo address this need\, a one-year catalyst project connected geographically distinct reserves in the Pacific/Western United States with shared migratory bird species and a common interest in elevating the role of Indigenous Knowledge and management practices in coastal conservation. The project – whose team included five reserves\, their local management and cultural partners\, and Pacific Birds Habitat Joint Venture – explored applications and built on existing frameworks for weaving together conventional science and Indigenous Knowledge\, research\, and cultural values to enhance stewardship of estuarine habitats and coastal watersheds. In this webinar\, project team members will share key workshop takeaways\, project outcomes and ripple effects\, and future plans to continue this work.
