Join us for this series of monthly talks by Dr. Stephen “Mitch” Wagener of the Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences at Western Connecticut State University on our changing climate and the impact it has on our Earth.
This series will consist of four engaging and informative episodes, each delving into critical aspects of climate change, sustainable solutions, and envisioning a more resilient future.
January 23: How to Transport Planets (Exoplanets) – If humans were to find a habitable planet circling another star, how would we recreate human civilization if we colonized it?
February 6: History and Natural History of Stone Walls – Stone walls and fences are an important part of New England landscapes. Who built them and why?
March 20: How Earth’s History Shaped Modern Climate – Over the early Earth’s history of eruptions and collisions, its variable spin was defined, and its wobble began to wander, and its orbit around the sun was tugged by Jupiter and Saturn. All these processes impact our climate to this day.
April 24: Fire! – Fire is the terrestrial world’s reset mechanism. As the planet warms many parts of the Earth grow more combustible.
