Webinar: Evaluating the Impact of Hydrologic Alterations on Salt Marsh Sustainability in a Changing Climate (December 7, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89366 89366-21662356@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 7, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Parallel grid ditches were dug in approximately 90% of mid-Atlantic and New England salt marshes from the 1920s through the 1940s. Today, managers must navigate the effects of these past actions when making decisions about marsh hydrology and drainage that impact human health, ecosystem services, and marsh sustainability. Managers must also consider how stressors such as sea-level rise impact marshes. A team of scientists including staff from the Waquoit Bay Reserve in Massachusetts helped to address this challenge by working iteratively with coastal managers and restoration practitioners to develop a decision support tool for marsh hydrology management strategies that promote sustainability and continued delivery of valuable ecosystem services under future sea level rise scenarios.

In this webinar, the project team shares both the collaborative and technical aspects of their approach and the resultant Marsh Sustainability and Hydrology Decision Support Tool. The tool predicts potential outcomes of ditch and runnel maintenance in micro- and macro-tidal salt marshes under different scenarios of suspended sediment input and sea level rise.

Research Presentation: Dr. Ruaridh Macdonald (December 14, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89907 89907-21666337@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 14, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences

Dr. Ruaridh Macdonald is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. His research focuses on understanding how nuclear power systems must change in order to succeed in modern energy systems and markets, and developing new designs in response. Ruaridh completed his undergraduate degree and Ph.D in Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT.

Abstract
The long term success of fission microreactors will likely rely on mass-production and low-cost operation, for example through remote operation. Pilot sites are required in order to justify the upfront expense of large production facilities and to test key assumptions about operations, reliability, and security.

Alaskan communities are being considered for the first microreactors. They have high energy costs, generally 2 - 10x that in the Lower-48 states, and face unique reliability and supply-chain challenges. Fission microreactors are well suited to resolving these technical challenges, but it is an open question whether they will be economically viable.

In this talk, we present the results of our recent study where we assessed the maximum capital and operating costs an economically viable microreactor can have in Alaska. We used the GenX energy dispatch and capacity expansion modelling tool to evaluate the cost of providing electricity and heat to serve two types of Alaskan communities, and calculated the cost efficiency of including a fission microreactor. We find that three factors dominate the calculation: (i) access to natural gas, (ii) the size of the heat load and the accessibility of a district heating network, and (iii) the importance of emission reductions

Abstract:
Water connects and obligates people to one another and to their environments in this time of ecological reckoning. Water ties, in this presentation, is an analytical term for, first, the ways that people are tied to water and are obliged to care for it, and second, the consequential and patterned ways that people are tied to one another through their relationships to water. In the Florida Everglades, where the world’s largest wetlands restoration project is underway and where pitched battles are fought over the values of agricultural production (especially sugarcane) and ecosystem health, water ties are the underappreciated keys to achieving flourishing with contested waters. Water ties are also political methodology: methodology for ecosystem governance, for Seminole sovereignty, and for ethnography.

This is a part of the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) Winter 2022 Series - "Water Ways: New Social Science, Science Studies, and Environmental Approaches to Water"

This is also a part of the class Anthrcul 558 section 002

Webinar: Fostering Partnerships, the Foundation of Collaborative Science (February 3, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90971 90971-21675114@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 3, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

If you’ve ever developed a user-driven research proposal, you know it takes a lot of conversations, coordination, and iteration — not to mention significant investment of time and resources. Partnerships are the heart of the collaborative science approach, and success depends on assembling the right team to engage, understand, design, and deliver results to meet users’ needs. When getting started with a new collaborative science project, it’s important to commit the time and resources necessary to foster relationships among team members, end users, and other partners, establish mutual understanding, and ultimately create a shared vision for what you want to accomplish.

Join us for a discussion with two speakers from the NERRS who will share how their successful collaborative science efforts started. Speakers will highlight how small grants helped them explore ideas with partners that sparked future projects, and the importance of getting together, understanding one another’s needs, and fostering relationships to do science that makes a difference.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Planet Blue Student Leaders

Hello!

We are reaching out on behalf of the Planet Blue Student Leaders’ Off-Campus Housing Team. We are launching a pilot project on fridge organization for off-campus housing students. If you are a student living in off-campus housing and share a fridge with others, this project might be for you!

Did you know that, on average, each off-campus college student produces 38 pounds of food waste a year (RecyclingWorks)? With food prices steadily rising (about 6.8% in 2021 alone, according to the US Bureau of Labor) this can make a serious impact on student budgets.

Our aim is to empower students to organize their fresh and refrigerated produce and food to save money, make food last longer, and reduce food waste. To do this, we’ll provide you with an information packet (complete with fridge organization best-practices, roommate conversation starters and conflict resolution guides, and helpful tips), an educational fridge magnet, and labeling stickers.

If you’re interested in participating or would like to know more, please fill out this form (bit.ly/3qt3crx) or send an email to Ella (ellalars@umich.edu), Meghana (mtummala@umich.edu), Allison (axjiang@umich.edu), or Ari (ariannek@umich.edu). We look forward to working with you!

Best,

Abstract:
Among Costa Rican hydrogeologists and water activists there is a longstanding struggle over the most appropriate metaphor to describe subterranean water. Veins (venas) have captured their imagination since at least colonial times when mining and other extractive projects dominated visual renderings of water. Plumes (plumas)have emerged more recently as hydrogeologists try to convey to the public the fragility and volatility of aquifers in danger of chemical contamination. Mantles (mantos) persist as figures that evoke the extended and enveloping character of water as a material substance. Measured against human bodies, human-made disasters, and human needs, these figurations that guide political decisions about harm and well-being. This paper examines the assumptions about collective life in Costa Rica that are written into these figures. I query how and where do these figures collide, and ask whose imagination is privileged in that process?

Human Habitat Experience | Climate change, disasters, and migration systems: A research agenda (February 8, 2022 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91645 91645-21681162@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 4:30pm

While weather-related disasters happen regularly, protective infrastructure and building codes usually prevent population loss. Hurricane Katrina’s devastating effects on New Orleans’ levee system and the built environment in other coastline communities in the Gulf of Mexico in 2005 is the exception that proves this rule. Or is it? Empirical studies of hurricane exposure and county-level population change show heterogeneous patterns of post-hurricane population trends. This presentation reviews research on this topic using the weather and population data currently available, and then considers the data and methods that would allow us to answer key questions about disaster-related migration in the US. Specifically, which disasters produce out-migration responses? Where have residents who migrated from disaster-affected places resettle? How do migration systems help us predict post-disaster residential mobility? Which types of residents are most likely to move from disaster-affected places? A transdisciplinary and community-engaged research team is necessary to effectively pursue this research agenda and use that knowledge to prepare for and protect against disaster impacts.

Brazil at a Crossroads: Environmental and Food Politics Under the Bolsonaro Regime.

Brazil at a Crossroads: Environmental and Food Politics Under the Bolsonaro Regime

When Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing populist, was elected as Brazil's president in 2018, people began wondering about the consequences of that election for the environment, food systems, and trade, among many other social and ecological issues. In this lecture series, Hannah Wittman, Gustavo Oliveira, and Susanna Hecht will explore the impacts of the Bolsonaro regime on food security and agroecology, on the conservation of the Amazon forest, and on international trade with China, as well as bright spots of resistance and innovation towards sustainability.

Dr. Hannah Wittman | Agroecology as Resistance: Visualizing rural-urban networks in a time of erasure

Agroecological transitions in Brazil are challenged by inequitable access to land, contested politics about how to “feed the world while cooling the planet” and high levels of uncertainty on how to adapt to changing markets, consumer dietary preferences, and climate change. Using examples from participatory research on digital agroecological certification in Brazil, I examine the potential of a new grassroots science that aims to make diverse, equitable, and sustainable agroecological landscapes legible, to support both political recognition of agroecology and solidarity networks between rural and urban communities.

Hello!

We are reaching out on behalf of the Planet Blue Student Leaders’ Off-Campus Housing Team. We are launching a pilot project on fridge organization for off-campus housing students. If you are a student living in off-campus housing and share a fridge with others, this project might be for you!

Did you know that, on average, each off-campus college student produces 38 pounds of food waste a year (RecyclingWorks)? With food prices steadily rising (about 6.8% in 2021 alone, according to the US Bureau of Labor) this can make a serious impact on student budgets.

Our aim is to empower students to organize their fresh and refrigerated produce and food to save money, make food last longer, and reduce food waste. To do this, we’ll provide you with an information packet (complete with fridge organization best-practices, roommate conversation starters and conflict resolution guides, and helpful tips), an educational fridge magnet, and labeling stickers.

If you’re interested in participating or would like to know more, please fill out this form (bit.ly/3qt3crx) or send an email to Ella (ellalars@umich.edu), Meghana (mtummala@umich.edu), Allison (axjiang@umich.edu), or Ari (ariannek@umich.edu). We look forward to working with you!

Best,

The PBSL Off-Campus Housing Team

Food Literacy for All:“How the Other Half Eats: the Untold Story of Food and Inequality in America” (February 15, 2022 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90248 90248-21668926@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 15, 2022 6:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: UM Sustainable Food Systems Initiative

Talk Description: Inequality in America manifests in many ways, but perhaps nowhere more than in how we eat. In this virtual presentation, sociologist and ethnographer Priya Fielding-Singh draws on her years of field research to bring us into the kitchens of dozens of families to explore how—and why—we eat the way we do. At the heart of Fielding-Singh's talk will be covering her powerful and timely new book, How the Other Half Eats: the Untold Story of Food and Inequality in America. The book unpacks nutritional inequality in America through an examination of class, race and health, intimately following four families across the income spectrum in an exploration of the meaning of food itself. By diving into the nuances of these families’ lives, Fielding-Singh lays bare the limits of efforts narrowly focused on improving families’ diets through increasing their access to healthy food. Instead, she reveals how being rich or poor in America impacts something even more fundamental than the food families can afford: these experiences impact the very meaning of food itself.

Food Literacy for All: Launched in 2017, Food Literacy for All is a community-academic partnership course based at the University of Michigan. Structured as an evening lecture series, Food Literacy for All features different guest speakers each week to address challenges and opportunities of diverse food systems.

The course is free and open to the public. The 2022 course is virtual on Tuesday evenings at 6:30pm EST.

Managing Melt: Ice, Refrigeration, and Hawaiian Body Politics
Hiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart, UT Austin – Anthropology

Monday, Feb 21: Open Talks 12-1pm, Grad Workshops 1-3pm
Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95385019774?pwd=N0I1THZGYlQwZi9UT2Q5dFlXSEttdz09

Abstract:
Nearly everything Hawaiʻi residents eat is imported, despite its history of agricultural abundance, and real estate development has encroached on arable farmlands such that a mere 11.6% of food is locally grown. Not only is Hawaiʻi dependent upon imported food, but the added energy costs built-in for maintaining perishables makes its groceries the most expensive in the United States. In this way, cold chain logics offer one way to trace the role that temperature plays in organizing bodies in within the tropics. Examining how freezing and refrigeration technologies function as a critical node of Hawaiʻi’s food system as a structure of settler colonialism, this talk considers what the promises and limits of thermal management might be for decolonial struggles over land and sovereignty. In doing so, Hiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart asks: how does ‘artificial’ ice and refrigeration constrain the conditions of possibility within movements that call for de-occupation, demilitarization, and the dismantling of the settler state? In what ways does it support activist and movement spaces? And, lastly, what place does refrigeration have within Indigenous futures that aim to move beyond capitalism, settler colonialism, and imperialism, when coldness has played such an infrastructural role in these political systems of oppression?

Thresholds: Regulating Risk and Water Contamination in Diné Communities
Teresa Montoya, University of Chicago

Monday, Mar. 7, The Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm. All parts via Zoom.

Abstract:
On July 16, 1979, one of the uranium mill tailings disposal ponds at the United Nuclear Corporation facility near Church Rock, NM failed. The ruptured mill earth dam released approximately 1100 tons of radioactive solid mill waste and 95 million gallons of acidic mine water into the streams and watersheds of nearby Diné (Navajo) communities. This disaster remains the largest singular release of radioactive material in U.S. history. In the spill’s aftermath—decades later and several miles downstream—I have worked alongside Diné grassroots coalitions on the Navajo Nation in their efforts to confront various forms of water contamination from this toxic disaster. Drawing upon ethnographic and archival material, I explore the various regulatory frameworks through which radioactive exposure is legible and by extension, the legal and political avenues that are made possible or denied. Through these activities, I analyze discourses of risk management, regulatory jurisdiction, and chronic exposure by several state agencies and public officials in their response to community concerns of unsafe water. In doing so, I theorize the arbitrary thresholds of toxicity within larger racialized debates over tribal sovereignty, public health disparity, and environmental justice for Diné communities today.

197 countries have signed the Paris Agreement - the global framework to limit global warming to 1.5C and address the already-present and future impacts of climate change. The best available science informs the policy discourse through a periodic review of the long-term temperature goal and requests to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to develop reports of interest. In light of the upcoming publication of the 6th Assessment Report of the IPCC, this talk will review the current state of scientific knowledge of climate change touching on all three of its Working Groups: physical science, impacts and adaptation, and mitigation, including the role that nuclear power plays in scenarios assessed by WGIII. Particular focus will be given to how the science-policy interface informs negotiation processes including the yearly Conference of Parties, setting of national policy targets such as Nationally Determined Contributions and net zero targets, and the upcoming Global Stocktake.

The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the School for Environment and Sustainability, and the Sustainable Food Systems Initiative present:

Brazil at a Crossroads: Environmental and Food Politics Under the Bolsonaro Regime

When Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing populist, was elected as Brazil's president in 2018, people began wondering about the consequences of that election for the environment, food systems, and trade, among many other social and ecological issues. In this lecture series, Hannah Wittman, Gustavo Oliveira, and Susanna Hecht will explore the impacts of the Bolsonaro regime on food security and agroecology, on the conservation of the Amazon forest, and on international trade with China, as well as bright spots of resistance and innovation towards sustainability.

Dr. Gustavo de L.T. Oliveira | The geopolitics of Brazilian soy in the age of Bolsonaro and the US-China trade war

Soy plays a major role in the development of Brazilian agribusiness, and in turn in Brazilian geopolitical power as well. It is the basis for much Brazilian land ownership in neighboring countries, and extension of political influence in Africa. It was also instrumental in Brazil’s insertion into a “new multi-polar world order”, balancing trade with China even while the US dollar and North Atlantic transnational companies maintained control over soybean markets. But recent events call for a reevaluation of the geopolitics of Brazilian soy. First, access to abundant Brazilian soy enabled China to withstand the trade war with the US, responding with counter-tariffs on US soy. But while this could have enabled Brazil to extract geopolitical gains, the election of Jair Bolsonaro as president of Brazil fractured the political power of the soy sector. While, soy farmers and truckers defend Bolsonaro’s domestic and international agenda, restraining ties with China and accusing Europeans of blocking Brazilian development through environmentalist charades, soy processing and trading companies have broken with Bolsonaro, who undermines their efforts to attract Chinese capital for infrastructure construction in Brazil while projecting a palatable eco-modernist image of Brazilian agribusiness for European markets. Thus, a critical geopolitics of Brazilian soy calls for more nuanced account of the transnational class articulations and global environmental politics that shape and are shaped by this extraordinary oilseed.

Monday, Mar. 21, Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm.
In-person in ISR-Thompson 6050

Abstract:
Inspired by ethnographic accounts recounting the colors of the Indian Ocean in Eastern Sri Lanka, this talk explores the colors of the Indian Ocean, as social, political, and material reflections of life and death. While oceans are almost always described and associated with the color blue, these descriptions of past disasters — the black sludgy waters of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the red, blood-tinged sea from civil war violence — harken to the Indian Ocean’s significance as a reminder and a harbinger of danger. Scaling up, I then turn to ocean color science, which charts and models the presence or absence of phytoplankton as an indicator of the rapidly warming Indian Ocean basin, changing its hues to a deeper green and signaling broader concerns for and relations with biological life, weather, atmosphere and land. What might a broader spectrum of hues offer in contrast to dominant economic and security narratives of bluing? What might attention to Indian Ocean colors offer to examine the social and ecological impacts of planetary risk and danger?

Does Cryptocurrency Have a Future? (March 25, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93617 93617-21706429@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 25, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Information

Register to attend at: http://umsi.info/elo-register

It’s increasingly hard to find anyone to seriously defend the current state of cryptocurrencies. The predominant use of cryptocurrencies is speculation, which is almost certain to result in a bubble and crash. The second most common use is for fraud and crime of one kind or another. The largest currencies, notably BitCoin, are now among the most egregious contributors to climate change.

In this informal talk and discussion, Nathaniel Borenstein will explain how the very concept of cryptocurrency has been hijacked by people and groups with personal or political agendas. In particular, he will try to separate the current generation of cryptocurrencies and their problems from the wider range of digital currencies that have existed in the past and are likely to exist in the future, and will discuss how, if they were better designed and regulated, cryptocurrencies might yet play a valuable role in the economy.

Nathaniel hopes for a lively discussion rather than just a lecture. While he will not hide his beliefs, he will try to be aware of and transparent about his own biases, and welcomes a constructive discussion with anyone holding opposing views.

Nathaniel Borenstein has been an Internet innovator since 1980. In 1994, he founded the first online payment system, First Virtual Holdings, and in 2000, he founded the first network-based point-of-sale system, NetPOS. He has followed developments in online payments since the 1980's, and he sees Bitcoin as a genuine threat to human civilization.

This event will be held via Zoom.

Abstract:
U-M's Detroit River Story Lab is comprised of interdisciplinary faculty, partnering with a wide array of Michigan based organizations in efforts to reconnect residents with the Detroit River. The Story Lab uses the term “narrative infrastructure” to refer both to the fabric of shared stories that binds a given community together and the pipelines and platforms by which these stories are circulated and elevated. For decades, the needs of Detroit riverside communities’ have been framed in terms of physical infrastructure (transportation, utilities, etc). Today, community leaders and scholars alike have recognized how the arts, civic life, local journalism, and public history are also critical to social cohesion and vitality. Alongside Detroit's legacies of inequity due to pollution, the privatization of shorelands, the bulldozing of neighborhoods, and mass-incarceration, has come the loss of sustaining stories about the Detroit River--or resident’s stories for framing sustainability for the city's and region's future. Learning from local residents who do (or who seek to) engage with its waters, the Story Lab partnership seeks to strengthen the narrative infrastructure of the Detroit River corridor with respect to its indigenous sacred sites, roles in the Underground Railroad, and long histories of water activism, among other themes. We work together through independent media, software platforms, innovative secondary and higher education curricula, and interpretive programing in public spaces. We are also developing youth participatory research trainings in river heritage, ecosystem regeneration, carbon accounting and equitable landscape design, to encourage direct personal ties with the river as well as community identification and advocacy along the corridor. Drawing from pathbreaking recent scholarship on Detroit's history and collaborative sustainability science, we work toward possible narrative transformation from the one and only "Motor City” to a preeminent "River City" worthy of emulation as an international and intercultural confluence of innovations in climate change adaptation, active learning and environmental and social justice.

The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the School for Environment and Sustainability, and the Sustainable Food Systems Initiative present:

Brazil at a Crossroads: Environmental and Food Politics Under the Bolsonaro Regime

When Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing populist, was elected as Brazil's president in 2018, people began wondering about the consequences of that election for the environment, food systems, and trade, among many other social and ecological issues. In this lecture series, Hannah Wittman, Gustavo Oliveira, and Susanna Hecht will explore the impacts of the Bolsonaro regime on food security and agroecology, on the conservation of the Amazon forest, and on international trade with China, as well as bright spots of resistance and innovation towards sustainability.

Dr. Susanna Hecht | From Ecocatastrophe to zero deforestation and back again: A natural experiment in environmental governance

From 2004 to 2012 Brazilian deforestation dropped by 80%. This involved several institutional, political, and market dynamics that structured “socioambientalism” as part of the development practice for Amazonia. While widely lauded, several other “adverse forces” were at work, and in any case, the cerrado (Brazilian savanna) was falling under the tractors of massive soy and sugar expansion. With the rise of Micheal Temer, and the election of Jair Bolsonaro, the configuration and politics changed dramatically. The central question now is whether processes that support forests and forest livelihoods can be reactivated? For a number of reasons, probably not.

Brazil at a Crossroads: Environmental and Food Politics Under the Bolsonaro Regime

When Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing populist, was elected as Brazil's president in 2018, people began wondering about the consequences of that election for the environment, food systems, and trade, among many other social and ecological issues. In this lecture series, Hannah Wittman, Gustavo Oliveira, and Susanna Hecht will explore the impacts of the Bolsonaro regime on food security and agroecology, on the conservation of the Amazon forest, and on international trade with China, as well as bright spots of resistance and innovation towards sustainability.

Dr. Susanna Hecht | From Ecocatastrophe to zero deforestation and back again: A natural experiment in environmental governance

From 2004 to 2012 Brazilian deforestation dropped by 80%. This involved several institutional, political, and market dynamics that structured “socioambientalism” as part of the development practice for Amazonia. While widely lauded, several other “adverse forces” were at work, and in any case, the cerrado (Brazilian savanna) was falling under the tractors of massive soy and sugar expansion. With the rise of Micheal Temer, and the election of Jair Bolsonaro, the configuration and politics changed dramatically. The central question now is whether processes that support forests and forest livelihoods can be reactivated? For a number of reasons, probably not.

Watermarks and the Ordinary
Sarah Vaughn, U.C. Berkeley

Monday, Apr. 11, Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm.
Join us via Zoom.

Abstract:
This talk considers the social worlds of watermarks. I propose the theme of watermarks as a way to get after the often subtle but deliberate attempts to manage daily life—and related pursuits—in the midst of the ongoing climate crisis. This theme became apparent to me while doing ethnographic fieldwork in the flood-prone, low-lying, and coastal South American country Guyana. By reading watermarks, people in Guyana reconsider how floods have the capacity to destabilize claims to identity, biopolitical capital/labor, and human hubris. In this respect, watermarks are performative. They shape and reveal the social relations of infrastructures within a given place that at times flourish, and at other times, can simply fail to shape plausible futures for their users. Building on the insights of anthropological scholarship on the ordinary and fakery, watermarks offer us less a theory of power than a creative medium for learning to live with dignity through the climate crisis.

Meaningful climate action requires all of our efforts. The University of Michigan (U-M) carbon neutrality campus life workstream is charged with developing a campus-wide strategy to:

- Educate the U-M community on climate action broadly and U-M’s initiatives;
- Engage the U-M community in campus carbon neutrality initiatives;
- Empower the U-M community to take climate action on and off campus; and
- Create the conditions that lead to the emergence of new opportunities.

The campus life workstream is seeking community input on its campus-wide strategy. Join co-leads Kelly Jones, Planet Blue Ambassador Program Coordinator, and Alex Bryan, Student Life Sustainability Programs Manager, in a conversation about the challenge of culture change and strategies to support sustainability and carbon neutrality culture change at U-M.

River Life and the Ticker of Time
Naveeda Khan, Johns Hopkins University

Monday, Apr. 18, Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm.
Join us via Zoom.


Abstract:
My talk starts with an examination of Padma Nodir Majhi (The Boatman of the Padma), the 1936 novella by Manik Bandopadhaya, to draw out the attention it lavishes on the Padma River. There are the usual anthropomorphic depictions of the river as a capricious woman, bountiful and destructive in turn, but also much in the way of descriptions of the waxing and waning depth of the river, the flow patterns, the color of the water, the dissolved matter in it, the taste of it, and the fishes and other marine life. Each is a chronotope in the literary sense of configuring time, space, and subjectivity in particular ways, but also a ticker of time in the sense of marking the objective state of the river at a particular moment. But again, the anthropomorphic inflections of our language break through with the ticker indicating the beating heart of the river, the river oft described has having a wavering and flickering heart. I examine these tensions between poetic figurations and objective descriptions of the river in the novel, following them across the filmic register to two art films based on the novel, Jago Hua Severa (The Dawn will Break, 1959) and Padma Nodir Majhi (1993) and finally across the scientific register to current studies of the river, with its focus on fluvial channel dynamics, metal content in the river and declining state of fish species. I explore how anthropology inherits this tension with its encounters not just with people but with texts and media by and about them and what anthropology does or can do with this tension to realize what Katherine McKittrick calls living outside of prevailing knowledge systems by reciting and recasting human-environment interactions.

Webinar: Refining Techniques for High-Frequency Monitoring of Chlorophyll (April 19, 2022 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/94448 94448-21738859@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 19, 2022 3:30pm

Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Many estuaries across the country experience nutrient pollution and algal blooms, which degrade water quality for people and other aquatic life. Carefully tracking chlorophyll ɑ concentrations - a proxy for phytoplankton biomass - can help managers track the patterns and drivers of algal blooms and eutrophication in estuaries but, to date, technological barriers have limited monitoring to monthly measurements, which may not be enough to track plankton dynamics that fluctuate hourly.

Last year, a catalyst project enabled 13 reserves nationwide to develop, test and share standardized protocols for using new YSI EXO Total Algae fluorometric sensors mounted on existing monitoring stations. In this webinar, team members will share how they: 1) assessed the performance of the new sensors; 2) identified sources of sensor interference and developed correction equations; and 3) created and shared tested protocols and recommendations for the Reserve System.

Carbon pricing is one measure that many experts believe can be implemented quickly and can dramatically lower carbon emissions. Mary Garton, of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby and the Climate Reality Project will discuss the role of national carbon pricing in addressing the climate crisis. This presentation is aimed to be understandable by those with no previous knowledge, yet educational for those already interested and active in working toward climate solutions.

Mary Garton is a nurse and educator. Ms. Garton has participated in 28 lobby meetings with 15 different members of Congress or their legislative aides. She has been active with Citizens Climate Lobby for 5 years, and believes, like they do, that the best way to fight one’s own climate anxiety is to actively work towards a viable solution.

This event is in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library and will take place at the Westgate Branch of the Ann Arbor District Library, 2503 Jackson Ave.

Webinar: Drone the SWMP: Assessing the Utility of Drones for Monitoring Coastal Wetlands (June 29, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/95541 95541-21790089@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, June 29, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Tidal wetland monitoring is critical for detecting changes and managing these vulnerable coastal ecosystems. Wetland monitoring programs typically use ground-based measurements or satellite observations to track changes at small and large scales – but these approaches may miss important processes that occur at intermediate spatial scales or result from discrete events such as extreme storms. Mounting sensors on unmanned aerial systems (UAS) - commonly known as drones - offers an opportunity to radically improve tidal wetland monitoring programs by providing high spatial resolution, coverage, and customization on the operator’s schedule.

This project team worked with the six National Estuarine Research Reserves in the Southeast and Caribbean to develop, assess, and collaboratively refine a protocol for drone operation, data management, and data analysis. In this webinar, which will consist of a presentation and panel discussion, members of the project team will talk about their approach which included ground-based validation and drone-based observation to estimate common wetland monitoring parameters and a collaborative process for developing the protocols. They will also share lessons learned, products developed, and benefits that have emerged from this work.

Webinar: Listen In: Acoustic Monitoring of Estuarine Communities Facing Ecosystem Change (July 14, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/95542 95542-21790090@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, July 14, 2022 2:00pm

Soundscape ecology is a promising new field that studies the sounds produced above and below water using a variety of acoustic sensors. Passive acoustic monitoring records sound produced over multiple levels of biological complexity which can be used to investigate and monitor biodiversity, behaviors such as feeding and spawning, and anthropogenic noise. By implementing acoustic monitoring, scientists and managers can identify key habitats for protection and measure how ecological communities respond to environmental changes (e.g. storm events, coastal development, eutrophication) in a cost-effective and low-impact manner.

This project brought together academic leaders in bioacoustics, estuarine ecology, and fisheries ecology with managers and staff from the Mission-Aransas, Rookery Bay, and North Inlet-Winyah Bay reserves. The goal was to develop a framework for a new acoustic monitoring program that could be integrated with reserve programs throughout the region, including: long-term system monitoring; targeted research, e.g. oyster reefs; stewardship applications, e.g. visitor use and anthropogenic noise; and education programs such as TOTE. In this webinar, project lead Chris Biggs will talk about the project approach and management context, share lessons learned from the project, and discuss the value of active acoustic monitoring as a component of ecosystem stewardship.
