SUMMARY:The Story of Extremes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a thought-provoking science lecture delving into extreme heat. We’ll explore the impacts and dynamics of its far-reaching consequences on vulnerable populations\, our environment\, and society. Discover how extreme heat shapes our communities.  \nDoors open at 6 p.m. Presentation begins at 6:30 p.m.\nBeer\, wine\, and small bites will be available for purchase from Aspire Coffee House. \nVisit the Springs Preserve website to purchase tickets: springspreserve.org/events \nFeatured Panelists: \nAriel Choinard – DRI\, CNAP\nAriel Choinard\, M.A. started at DRI in February 2023 as the project coordinator for the California-Nevada Adaptation Program (CNAP) and the new Southern Nevada Heat Resiliency Lab. She is working to build connections between scientists\, community members\, and community organizations to co-produce solutions\, adaptations\, and resilience to climate hazards. Choinardcame to DRI after working as the Urban Heat Resilience Fellow for Clark County and is based at DRI’s Las Vegas campus.   \nLisa Ortega – City of Henderson\, Urban Forestry Program\nLisa Ortega created the City of Henderson Urban Forestry Program through active inventory\, writing the UF Program Plan\, and contract accountability.  She has been a consultant in her own business\, Great Basin Sage Consulting\, LLC since 2018\, consulting on tree health\, risk assessments and tree appraisals. She also started a tree planting nonprofit\, Nevada Plants (2021). \nNancy Beecher – Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA)\, Water Resources Department\nNancy Beecher is a Senior Environmental Biologist at SNWA. She has a Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology\, an M.S. in natural resource sciences\, and is working on an M.S.L. in water and environmental law. She conducted her Ph.D. research in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve\, Costa Rica\, where she studied how climate‐induced changes in pond water levels can influence amphibian development and immunity. She has been with SNWA for the past 17 years\, where she brings together biological\, hydrologic\, geospatial\, and legal information to inform land and water resource management. She and her colleagues recently completed a study on balancing heat resilience and water conservation in the Las Vegas Valley Metropolitan Area. \n  \nIn partnership with: \n \nSponsored by:
