- Oct 1111:00 AMMarine Sciences Seminar: Alicia WilsonAlicia Wilson University of South CarolinaWind, submarine groundwater discharge, and biogeochemical inputs to the ocean The field of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) was launched in the 1990s by the remarkable discovery, via naturally-occurring isotopic tracers, that saline groundwater was discharging to the South Atlantic Bight in very large volumes. Subsequent studies confirmed that saline groundwater discharges to the Atlantic Ocean in volumes that rival river discharge, and it is now clear that the global nutrient contributions of saline submarine discharge exceed those of river discharge. Acceptance of the importance of these fluxes was slow in coming, however, because the mechanism and location for this saline discharge remained a mystery for more than 20 years. We used heat as a tracer to identify clear pulses of groundwater discharge much farther from shore (10-15 km) than described by conventional conceptual models. This work demonstrates that wind events are major drivers of seawater-groundwater exchange kilometers from the shoreline, and this exchange drives major exports of nutrients from saline submarine groundwater to the ocean. Isotopic analyses confirm that this exchange supplies "new" nitrogen to the ocean (i.e. it is not recycled from the water column). This work supports major rewrites of standard hydrologic cycle diagrams, conceptual models for coastal groundwater flow, and nutrient budgets for the coastal oceans.Host: Julie GrangerTime & Date: 11:00 am, Friday, October 11, 2024Place: Lowell Weicker Building, Seminar Room 103 (or WebEx)Request Seminar InformationCancellation & Additional Seminar Details (https://marinesciences.uconn.edu/seminar/seminar1248/) If you are an individual with a disability and need accommodations, please contact 860-405-9152 (tel:+18604059152) or email marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu (mailto:marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu).

- Oct 1112:00 PMWith the Future on our Backs: The Tied Mobilities of Monarch and Human MigrantsAbout This Event This lecture will delve into migration and time-making projects, examining both human and animal movement. Instead of solely focusing on traditional 'pull-push' factors of human migration, Columba González-Duarte will propose a framework for understanding multispecies mobility through the connections between monarch and human migration. Participants will engage with the concept of migration as micropolitics, challenging racialized border control and exploring more-than-human mobility justice that questions the naturalization of state borders.Lunch will be served! Kindly register below. About Our GuestColumba González-Duarte Assistant Professor, The New School for Social Research Pursuing a greater understanding of the relationship between monarch butterflies and the people and communities they interact with has carried Dr. Columba Gonzalez-Duarte far, connecting her roots in Mexico to Toronto and to her new home in New York City. Through her research, Columba examines the conservation dynamics of the monarch butterfly across three nations, analyzing the connections between NAFTA's agri-food industry, labor migration, and the decline of the monarch population. She also collaborates with scientific and Indigenous communities in Canada, the United States, and Mexico to document their knowledge and ways of relating to migratory insects. Dr. Gonzalez-Duarte's academic practice is shaped by feminist ethics of care, promoting a different form of justice that values the well-being of both humans and more-than-humans during their migratory journeys across North America.

- Oct 1112:15 PMPSLA Seminar Series: Dr. Heather DarbyHost: Haiying TaoLocation: YNG 132Webex Link: s.uconn.edu/psla_seminars Dr. Heather Darby is a Professor of Agronomy and Soils at the University of Vermont. For over 20 years Heather has worked with farmers and food system stakeholders to develop economically viable and environmentally sustainable production systems. She has developed relevant applied research and worked to deliver that directly to stakeholders to help their agricultural businesses. The viability of producing a truly local beer and spirits has been proven over the last decade by passionate and dedicated researchers, farmers, maltsters, and brewers. The innovators and early adopters who grow and use local hops and grains have been critical in proving that local supply chain is possible but to sustain these efforts and make them more affordable will require another group called the early majority. This presentation will highlight the current statistics around demand, research focused on local production, and the potential for New England to grow more local hops and grains.
