SUMMARY:MODELING RESPONSE OF WATER QUALITY TO LAND-USE AND CLIMATE CHANGE IN LAKE AUBURN\, MAINE   - Nick Messina - Thesis Defense Announcement
DESCRIPTION:Thesis Defense Announcement\nMODELING RESPONSE OF WATER QUALITY TO LAND-USE AND CLIMATE CHANGE IN LAKE AUBURN\, MAINE\nNick Messina\nTuesday\, November 12\, 2019 at 4 pm 307 Bryand Global Sciences Center\n\nAbstract\nLake Auburn\, Maine\, USA\, is a historically unproductive lake that has experienced multiple algal blooms since 2011. The lake is the water supply source for a population of ~60\,000. We modeled past temperature\, and concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO) and phosphorus (P) in Lake Auburn by considering the watershed and internal contributions of P as well as atmospheric factors\, and predicted the change in lake water quality in response to future climate and land-use changes. A stream hydrology and P-loading model (SimplyP) was used to generate input from two major tributaries into a lake model (MyLake) to simulate physical mixing\, chemical dynamics\, and sediment geochemistry in Lake Auburn from 2013 to 2017. Simulations of future lake water quality were conducted using meteorological boundary conditions derived from recent historical data and climate model projections for high greenhouse-gas emission cases. The effect of future land development on lake water quality for the 2046 to 2055 time period under different land-use and climate change scenarios was also simulated. Our results indicate that lake P enrichment is more responsive to extreme storm events than increasing air temperatures\, mean precipitation\, or windstorms; loss of fish habitat is driven by windstorms\, and to a lesser extent an increasing water temperature; and watershed development further leads to water quality decline. All simulations also show that the lake is susceptible to both internal and external P loadings.

SUMMARY:MODELING MOUNTAIN GLACIERS TO INFER PAST CLIMATE CHANGES - ALICE DOUGHTY
DESCRIPTION:CLIMATE CHANGE INSTITUTE LECTURE SERIES\n\nMODELING MOUNTAIN GLACIERS TO INFER PAST CLIMATE CHANGES\nAlice Doughty\nVisiting Assistant Professor in Geology\nBates College\n \nWednesday\, November 13\, 2019\, 1 PM\n307 Bryand Global Science Center\nAbstract:  Glaciers advance in response to cooling temperatures and retreat in response to warming temperatures.  In addition to this general relationship\, glaciers also respond to changes in precipitation\, lapse rate\, wind speed\, radiation\, and topography\, among other factors.  To examine glacier sensitivity and infer past climate changes\, I use a spatially-distributed\, coupled ice-flow and mass balance model to reconstruct past glacier extents based on modern climate\, topography\, and dated moraines.  In this talk\, I will share some of my current findings and possible future collaborations with UMaine faculty.\n

SUMMARY:RESPONDING TO THE MENTAL HEALTH IMPACTS OF DISASTERS AND CLIMATE CHANGE - Jennifer First
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Frist\, MSW\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\, School of Social Work\nUniversity of Southern Maine\n \nThursday\, November 14\, 2019\, 11am\n138 Sawyer Conference Room\n\nAbstract:  Climate change and disaster events are growing reality in communities across the globe. Climate-change induced disaster events can cause significant psychological harm and result in a range of mental health disorders such as depression\, anxiety\, and post-traumatic stress disorder in individuals exposed to disaster events. Jennifer First will discuss her research examining the mental health impacts of climate-change and disaster events and the development of tools and resources to support wellbeing and resilience.

SUMMARY:What’s it like on Everest? Find out Nov. 15 from CCI researchers
DESCRIPTION:Six University of Maine explorers will talk about their experiences participating in the most comprehensive scientific expedition ever conducted on Mount Everest. \nA free\, public panel discussion\, “The University of Maine’s Role in the National Geographic and Rolex’s Perpetual Planet Extreme Expedition to Mount Everest\,” will be held 1:45–2:45 p.m. Friday\, Nov. 15\, in the McIntire Room at Buchanan Alumni House. Registration for the free event is required. \nMajor expedition goals included understanding change in climate\, water availability\, and the role of human impacts on one of the planet’s most severe environments. \nUMaine President Joan Ferrini-Mundy will introduce Paul Andrew Mayewski\, director of the Climate Change Institute and professor in the School of Earth and Climate Sciences. \nMayewski was the Everest Expedition leader and lead scientist for the international project involving 55 science partners\, National Geographic staff\, journalists\, Sherpas and porters. \nEverest is the most iconic mountain in the world and\, for decades\, adventurers have been lured to the culture\, geography and challenges posed by the mountain and the region\, says Mayewski. He will present a 15-minute overview of the two-month expedition prior to the panel discussion. \nIn addition to Mayewski\, panelists and expedition participants will include: Aaron Putnam\, assistant professor in the CCI and the School of Earth and Climate Sciences; Mariusz Potocki\, Heather Clifford and Peter Strand\, Ph.D. candidates in the CCI and School of Earth and Climate Sciences; and Laura Mattas\, M.S. student in the CCI and School of Earth and Climate Sciences. \nA video\, photographs\, a summit suit\, a drill used to secure the highest ice core in the world\, and other items from the expedition will be displayed. \nFor additional information\, read the National Geographic and UMaine Today stories.
