SUMMARY:Spatial fingerprint of deglacial temperature change in eastern North America: More than one way to kill a spruce forest - Dr. Jack Williams
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jack Williams\, UW Madison \nThursday\, January 30\, 2020 \n4 pm\, Nutting 100 \n  \nThe last deglaciation in eastern North America offers a classic system for studying climate-driven forest range dynamics during large and abrupt climate changes\, but paleoclimate and paleofire records are surprisingly scarce. In this talk\, I will first present new reconstructions of the spatial fingerprint of deglacial temperature variations in eastern North America\, then focus on the collapse of spruce woodlands in the southern Great Lakes\, to understand how temperature rises and intensified fire regimes drove forest collapse. \n

SUMMARY:CONSERVATION PALEOBIOLOGY ON ACADIA’S MOUNTAINS  - Caitlin McDonough MacKenzie
DESCRIPTION:CONSERVATION PALEOBIOLOGY ON ACADIA’S MOUNTAINS\nCaitlin McDonough MacKenzie\nSecond Century Stewardship Fellow\nUniversity of Maine\n\nMonday\, February 3\, 2020\, 12pm\n138 Sawyer Conference Room\n\nAbstract:  Conservation practitioners depend on accurate assessments of climate change vulnerability in allocating limited resources to protect and steward natural resources. The subalpine plants on Acadia National Park’s open granite ridges have been interpreted as post-glacial tundra relicts\, however paleoecological records above treeline are sparse and this assumption remains untested. Could subalpine plant communities in Acadia represent persistent microrefugia\, perhaps indicating high resilience in the face of regional and global climate change? Globally\, montane and alpine communities are highly vulnerable to climate change\, however there is evidence that high elevations and coastal mountains in the northeastern United States are not warming as rapidly as the rest of the region. I combine historical ecological data from a 19th century flora and paleoecological data from lake sediment cores to reconstruct vegetation assemblages on Mount Desert Island’s eponymous bare mountain tops throughout the Holocene. This ongoing work includes species-level floristic change over the past century and decadal-to-centennial vegetation dynamics from new pollen and macrofossil records collected at Sargent Mountain Pond and supports conservation management in the park.\n

SUMMARY:USDA FIELD STAFF USE OF CLIMATE AND WEATHER RESOURCES:  PERSPECTIVES ON RESPONDING TO CHANGE - Dr. Rachel Schattman
DESCRIPTION:USDA FIELD STAFF USE OF CLIMATE AND WEATHER RESOURCES:  PERSPECTIVES ON RESPONDING TO CHANGE \n  \nDr. Rachel Schattman \nAssistant Professor of Sustainable Agriculture \nUniversity of Maine School of Food and Agriculture \n  \nMonday\, March 2\, 2020\, 12pm \n307 Bryand Global Science Center \n  \nAbstract:  Agricultural service providers often work closely with producers\, and are well positioned to include weather and climate change information in the services they provide. By doing so\, they can help producers reduce risks due to climate variability and change. A national survey of United States Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency (FSA) field staff (n = 4621) was conducted in 2016\, accompanied by a similar survey of field staff from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS\, n = 1893).  The survey was designed to assess FSA and NRCS employees’ use of climate and weather-related data and explore their perspectives on climate change\, attitudes toward adaptation and concerns regarding climate- and weather-driven risks. Findings suggest that there are opportunities to increase employee exposure and proficiency with weather and climate information to meet the needs of American farmers by helping them to reduce risk.

SUMMARY:Exploring New Children and Camelid Sacrificial Sites in Huanchaco Bay: The Peak of the Iceberg? - Gabriel Prieto
DESCRIPTION:Gabriel Prieto \nAnthropology Department\, University of Florida\nExploring New Children and Camelid Sacrificial Sites in Huanchaco Bay: The Peak of the Iceberg? \nTuesday\, March 3\, 2020 at 5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public\nIn the Bodwell Area\, Collins Center for the Arts\n\nIn 2019\, archaeologists announced the discovery of a mass sacrifice of children and camelids at Huanchaquito\, on the North Coast of Peru as a response to a mega ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation Event) occurred around 1400-1450 AD. Subsequent excavations revealed three new sites with evidence of human and animal sacrificial practices during the Chimu period (1100-1450 AD) and even during the Inca presence in this region (1450/1470 – 1532 AD). Recent C14 dates confirm that some mass sacrificial events of children and camelids started around 1200 cal AD\, suggesting that this practice is significantly earlier than previously thought. This discovery challenges the crisis-driven response theory for mass sacrifices of children and camelids and opens a new scenario in which the Chimu society used ritual violence as part of their religious and political agenda. Moreover\, current data suggests that potentially the Chimu society may have had a coastal version of Capacocha\, an Inca ceremony in which children and young adolescents were sacrificed on behalf of the Inca emperor under different circumstances.

SUMMARY:The National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Extreme Mt. Everest Expedition - Dr. Paul A. Mayewski
DESCRIPTION:World-renowned climate scientist\, explorer Mayewski to talk about Everest expedition March 6  \n  \nWorld-renowned climate scientist and explorer Paul Mayewski will give a free\, public talk titled “The National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Extreme Mt. Everest Expedition\,” 5:30–6:30 p.m. Friday\, March 6\, in the auditorium at the Hutchinson Center in Belfast. \n  \nThe goal of the two-month multinational\, multidisciplinary National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Extreme Mt. Everest Expedition was to document people’s impacts on one of the planet’s most severe environments. \n  \nMayewski\, director of the University of Maine Climate Change Institute\, was the expedition leader and lead scientist for the international project that involved 55 science partners\, National Geographic staff\, journalists\, Sherpas and porters. \n  \nFrom Base Camp at an altitude of 17\,514 feet\, he directed the biological\, geological\, glaciological\, meteorological\, mapping and multimedia enterprise which took place all over the mountain\, both at lower elevations and nearly to the 29\,029-foot summit. \n  \nWater flowing from Himalayan glaciers is a resource for energy\, food and consumption for about 20% of the world’s population. One billion people living in the watershed will be stressed due to the shrinking of the glaciers\, Mayewski says. Initially from flooding and landslides\, and later due to drought. \n  \nThis marked Mayewski’s fourth scientific expedition on Everest\, which Tibetans call Chomolungma and Nepalis call Sagarmatha for “mother of the sky.” Mayewski has led nearly 60 research expeditions around the globe\, many in Antarctica\, where he was the first person to explore large tracts of the continent. “Mayewski Peak\,” a summit in Antarctica’s Saint Johns Range\, is named in his honor. \n  \nA video\, a summit suit\, a drill used to secure the highest ice core in the world\, and other items from the expedition will be displayed. For additional information\, read the National Geographic and UMaine Today stories. \n  \nAbout the Hutchinson Center: \nThe Hutchinson Center is an outreach center for the University of Maine in Orono\, that serves as an educational and cultural center for the midcoast area. It is named for University of Maine President Emeritus Frederick E. Hutchinson. The mission of the Hutchinson Center is to broaden access to University of Maine academic and non-degree programs and services\, lifelong learning opportunities\, and professional and career development experiences using innovative approaches that increase synergy among University of Maine System entities\, University of Maine departments and divisions\, and that engage a wider Maine community.

SUMMARY:THE DEVIL’S HEAD SITE AND THE LATE WOODLAND(CERAMIC) TO CONTACT PERIOD TRANSITION IN DOWNEAST MAINE - Dr. Gabe Hrynick
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gabe Hrynick\nAssociate Professor of Anthropology\nUniversity of New Brunswick\, Fredericton\nMonday\, September 21\, 2020\, 12noon\nZOOM – Join from PC\, Mac\, Linux\, iOS or Android:\nhttps://maine.zoom.us/j/94915919868?pwd=VWhrQzVZQmkvV3E0bTJOczl0UnB6QT09\nPassword: 558487\n  \nAbstract: The Far Northeast of North America experienced some of the earliest contact by Europeans of anywhere in the Americas\, making this period crucial to understanding the history of subsequent Indigenous and European interactions. Despite the period’s significance to Wabanaki people and scholars\, there are relatively few historical records from this Protohistoric period\, and archaeological understanding of the region has focused primarily on highly visible elaborate burials\, especially from Mi’kmaw territory. In contrast\, the Devil’s Head site in Calais\, Maine\, is an example of a Late Woodland and Protohistoric period habitation site. In this talk I offer it as an example of some of the changes that may have been underway at and just before contact. I also will discuss the sea level rise\, bioturbation\, and visibility problems that may have obscured Protohistoric habitation sites in the region’s archaeological record. I conclude with some thoughts on next research steps for understanding the contact period in the Far Northeast\, emphasizing Indigenous interactions in response to Contact.

SUMMARY:CONSTRAINING INTERGLACIAL ICE SHEET  ELEVATIONS IN INTERIOR WEST ANTARCTICA  - Dr. Robert Ackert
DESCRIPTION:CONSTRAINING INTERGLACIAL ICE SHEET\nELEVATIONS IN INTERIOR WEST ANTARCTICA \nDr. Robert Ackert\nResearch Scientist\nDept. of Earth and Planetary Sciences\nHarvard University \nMonday\, November 9\, 2020\, 12 PM \nZoom Link\nhttps://maine.zoom.us/j/85221937569?pwd=eXRVOHBoc3BUQ2UxM1lVd1FyeUVFUT09 \n  \nAbstract: Determining the Antarctic ice response to global warming has been a focus of Antarctic research for decades due to its potential contribution to global sea level. Constraints on ice sheet geometry during past interglacial periods would provide empirical evidence for smaller ice volumes. However\, such evidence is difficult to access because it is covered by the current ice sheet. We are using shallow (<100 m) drilling along the ice sheet margin to obtain cores of the subglacial bedrock in which to measure cosmogenic nuclides. These nuclides are only produced when the surfaces are exposed to cosmic radiation. Thus\, their presence indicates the rock surface has been ice-free and the adjacent the ice surface was lower than the site. 10Be and 26Al concentrations in samples up to 28 m below the present ice surface in the Ohio Range\nindicate long exposure with intermittent ice cover during the last few hundred thousand years. Drilling at Mt.Waesche\, near the dome of the ice sheet in Marie Byrd Land\, is scheduled for next year. There we have a unique opportunity to constrain ice elevations during the last interglacial because we have identified target lava flows that were erupted from ~79 ka to ~123 ka. Ice sheet models suggest the ice sheet surface at the Ohio Range and at Mt. Waesche is several hundred meters lower during collapse events. These depths are accessible by the IDO drill rigs and will be the target of future projects.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Indigenous Land Awareness & Acknowledgment in Outdoor Recreation
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 9 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. \n  \n  \nWhose land are we recreating on? What does it mean to acknowledge Indigenous lands? How does social media and location-tagging come into play? And how does this all relate to the lands on and around our campus? These questions and more will be addressed in a virtual discussion with Dr. Darren J. Ranco\, Chair of the UMaine Native American Programs and Associate Professor of Anthropology and James Francis\, Director of the Cultural and Historic Preservation Department for the Penobscot Nation. RVSP by Friday November 6 to lauren.jacobs@maine.edu to receive the link. \n  \nSponsored by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion\, School of Kinesiology\, Physical Education & Athletic Training\, Maine Bound\, and the Outdoor Leadership Program. These presentations are supported in part by a grant from the Cultural Affairs/Distinguished Lecture Series Fund.
