SUMMARY:The Story of Resilience
DESCRIPTION:This installment in the Science Distilled series will explore the critical topic of climate resiliency and local solutions. Gain valuable insights into emerging research on cooling the climate and how we can manage forests into the future. \nGet your tickets online through The Discovery \nFeatured Presenters: \nDavid Mitchell \nDr. David Mitchell received his Ph.D. from the University of Nevada\, USA\, in 1995 and has contributed to the peer-reviewed literature in the atmospheric science sub-disciplines of cloud physics\, radiation\, remote sensing and climate dynamics.  He and his students developed a theory describing the evolution of the North American monsoon that is now widely accepted\, and he developed a treatment of ice cloud radiative properties that is currently used in the NCAR climate models.  He and Dr. Anne Garnier developed and published (in 2016) the first satellite remote sensing retrieval for ice particle concentrations and later developed a method providing global percentages of cirrus clouds strongly affected by homogeneous ice nucleation.  He published the first paper on the climate intervention method known as “cirrus cloud thinning” which may produce significant surface cooling at high latitudes. He has given 40 invited talks at universities and research institutes in the USA\, the U.K.\, Germany\, Mexico\, Norway\, France\, and Sweden. \nAnna Higgins \nAnna Higgins is a forester with over twenty years of experience in forestry and wildfire throughout the West. She has a B.S. Forestry from the University of Montana\, and a M.S. Forestry from Northern Arizona University.

SUMMARY:AWE+ 2024 Wildfire Recovery and Resilience: Working Across Silos to Drive Solutions
DESCRIPTION:AWE+ an Adaptable World Environment\nAugust 21-22\, 2024 – Las Vegas\, NV\nFor over six decades\, DRI has tirelessly tackled scientific challenges related to global climate. DRI is unwavering in its commitment to continue this intensive research. But fortifying communities against future devastation requires more than science. It demands the collective resolve of communities: agency staff\, elected officials\, policymakers\, first responders\, researchers and scientists\, industry leaders\, environmentalists and residents working together on measures to advance resilience and adaptability. This is where AWE+ comes into play.  \nIn our inaugural event\, AWE+ will focus on human adaptation to wildfires and their often-devastating impacts. AWE+ envisions a world where communities cultivate resilient measures amid the escalating intensity of wildfire events across the globe – not only to address the sheer destruction but also the cascading effects of pollutants and smoke that degrade air quality\, contaminate water supplies and result in post-fire debris flows and flooding. All pose acute threats and increasing societal costs that mandate an urgent acceleration towards resilient\, fire-adapted transformation. Through AWE+\, DRI will be a catalyst for honest conversations that grapple with tough questions and break out of past paradigms. \nVisit our website for details\, featured speakers\, and agenda overview.

Discover the significance of Basque arborglyphs\, explore the research at the DRI luminescence lab\, and learn about volcanos in Nevada (yes\, this state!) that erupted not that long ago. \nTickets are available now for purchase through The Discovery! \nThis panel will feature Teresa Wriston\, Ph.D.\, Geoarchaeologist and Associate Research Professor at DRI and Kathleen Rodrigues\, Ph.D.\, Quaternary Geochronologist in the Luminescence Lab and Assistant Research Professor at DRI. \nTeresa Wriston\, Ph.D –\nTeresa’s research centers on how past cultures coped or adapted to changing environmental conditions. She uses a broad interdisciplinary approach to build environmental contexts that show how prehistoric people used the landscape and what resources were targeted. Her work often draws from geomorphology\, soils\, remote sensing\, ecology\, and isotope ecology. \nKathleen Rodrigues\, Ph.D. –\nKathleen is a Quaternary geochronologist that specializes in radiation exposure dating techniques\, including optically stimulated luminescence\, thermally stimulated luminescence\, and electron spin resonance. Her research interests are focused on the development and application of luminescence dating methods to address questions in Quaternary geomorphology\, paleoclimatology\, and archaeology. Her recent work has focused primarily on the development of novel methods for dating eruption events in the Great Basin and defining the timescales over which tephra reworking occurs in the landscape. \n  \nIn partnership with:\n\nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:The Story of Nevada
DESCRIPTION:The Story of Nevada: An engaging science lecture that delves into Nevada’s history through the lens of archaeology\, offering a detailed look at mobile foraging of early peoples in Nevada and how their behavior changed with shifts in precipitation\, as well as delving into the Lost City and what scientists are doing to preserve the archaeological sites from erosion. Plus\, a short film about the Basque arborglyphs in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. \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 Presenters:  \nDr. Greg Haynes \nDr. Haynes is an Associate Research Professor at DRI and has been a practicing archaeologist for nearly 40 years. His research interests have long been focused on sedentary agricultural villagers on the Colorado Plateau\, the Ancestral Puebloans or Anasazi\, and transhumant mobile foragers of the Great Basin and Mojave Desert\, including the Ancestral Paiute and Shoshone. He is currently conducting investigations on ceramic assemblages obtained in the 1950s from the shorelines of ancient Lake Cahuilla\, of which the Salton Sea is but a remnant.  \nJD Lancaster \nJD Lancaster is an Associate Research Scientist in Anthropology and Archaeology at DRI. Lancaster’s work has focused on archaeology of the Great Basin and Columbia River Plateau\, quaternary paleoclimatology and paleogeography\, archaeological prospection and predictive modeling\, and human behavior ecology.  \nIn the summer of 2019\, Lancaster\, along with other researchers\, used drone technology to create high-resolution 3-D maps of the Pueblo Grande de Nevada archaeological site\, also known as Lost City. The use of drones to map the archaeological site allowed the team to identify erosion sites that put the Lost City at risk and help develop and test mitigation strategies.  \nNathan Harper \nNathan Harper’s passion for the past began at an early age helping his parents investigate the family’s history in small\, dusty courthouses and storerooms across Kansas. This early experience would lead him to search even deeper into the history and prehistory of the people of the American Southwest\, Great Basin\, and the eastern Mediterranean.  \nHe completed his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in Anthropology at Wichita State University\, culminating in a Fulbright Fellowship to Cyprus in 2001. Nathan has conducted fieldwork in Nevada\, Arizona\, Kansas\, Texas and internationally in Cyprus\, Greece\, Turkey\, Jordan\, Mexico.  \nFrom 2010 to 2022 Nathan served as the Preserve Archaeologist at the Springs Preserve in Las Vegas\, conducting preservation and compliance projects and was part of a curation team that restored and rehabilitated four San Pedro railroad workers cottages for the development of Boomtown 1905. Nathan currently serves as the Archaeologist for the Southern Nevada Water Authority conducting preservation and compliance work on all SNWA and Las Vegas Valley Water District managed properties\, which includes the Springs Preserve\, Warm Springs Natural Area\, and the Las Vegas Wash.  \nIn the community\, Harper serves on the State Board of Museums and History\, overseeing the State of Nevada’s Museums and Historical Society.  \n  \nIn partnership with: \n \nSponsored by:
