DIALOGING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE Celebrate Earth Science Week Presented at four locations around New Mexico in October: @ The New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque, New Mexico from 7:00-9:00 p.m. on Monday, October 5, 2009. @ Macey Center at New Mexico Tech in Socorro, New Mexico from 7:00-9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 6, 2009. @ Jornada Building at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico from 7:00-9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 7, 2009. @ The Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos, New Mexico from 5:15-7:15p.m. on Thursday, October 8, 2009. Please join us for an evening of discovery and dialogue, hosted by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, about one of today?s hottest topics: climate change. David Herring, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will present the science behind climate change: where we have been, where we are, and where we are going. Herring will provide background information on past climate, current climate trends, evidence for man-made contributions to climate change, and scientists? progress toward modeling future climate scenarios on a global, regional, and local level. After the presentation, join us for a community dialogue about climate change over dessert! Dessert will include pastries and other tasty treats as well as coffee, tea, and juice. In this informal atmosphere you can ask David Herring questions and discuss your own thoughts about climate change with local community members. Is climate change occurring? What is humanity?s role? How do we sort through the different pictures scientists paint of future climate possibilities on our planet? Herring serves as Director of Communications within NOAA?s Climate Program Office, based in Silver Spring, Maryland. Part of his job is to help people understand the science of climate change through programs and web resources and how they may use NOAA?s data and information resources to make more informed decisions in their lives and livelihoods. He previously worked as project manager for education and public outreach within the Earth Sciences Division at NASA?s Goddard Space Flight Center, where he also worked on NASA?s Terra Mission, Earth Observatory, Visible Earth, and NEO projects.

The ISTF is a national technology literacy program that last year involved 180 student teams from multiple states and two countries. It offers students in grades 3 through 12 an opportunity to work on-line with technical advisors from corporations, federal laboratories, and academic research centers. Students research how National Critical Technology applications may be applied to real-world problems while adhering to content guidelines based on national science content standards. The ISTF combines science inquiry and the Internet while helping students develop interpersonal and critical thinking skills, such as teaming, communicating, researching, analyzing, writing, and web development. The program begins in October and ends in February, when each student team's research findings are presented in a web-page format. A national panel of scientists, engineers and teachers judge teams' final projects on-line with certificate awards from the National Medal of Technology and Innovation Program at the US Department of Commerce. From now through November, education professionals (including but not limited to science, math, and technology teachers) in your state are encouraged to enroll student teams. Newcomers can access information specifically designed to better understand what is involved. Once a decision is made to participate, teachers may set up an ISTF Teacher Account at My ISTF and begin enrolling student teams. Again, please share this information with your elementary, middle and high school science, math and technology teachers and other educational professionals who might be interested. A one-page flyer is available for distribution purposes. Should you have any questions, please contact my office .

For more information, please visit www.NMnaturalhistory.org Lecture The Forester?s Log Mary Stuever Tuesday, October 20, 2009 7 p.m. Mary Stuever, Fire Ecologist and Forester has spent two decades working in the Southwest. In that time, U.S. forests have faced serious crises: the threat of impending wildfires on residential areas, insect outbreaks, and forest animals? loss of habitat among them. Stuever documents the challenges and changes in forestry from her unique view as a woman in a male-dominated profession. Fires can be beneficial, but with more trees and fewer prescribed burns, destructive fires have escalated. The idea of using fire for good is just one of the changes that have come to forestry recently. She will share her work along the Rio Grande bosque and across the high deserts and mountains of Arizona exploring the relationships between land and its people. Mary Stuever is a forester for the State of New Mexico. Her syndicated column, ?The Forester?s Log,? appears in newspapers and communities scattered throughout the U.S. and Canada. Her essays have appeared in A Mile in Her Boots; she is co-editor of Field Guide to the Sandia Mountains. Her new book, The Forester?s Log, published by UNM Press, will be available for purchase and signing after the talk. Cost: $5 (public and members) Questions: Chris Sanchez at 841-2872 or email: chris.sanchez@state.nm.us Purchase in advance to guarantee your seats at: www.naturalhistoryfoundation.org or at the door before the talk.
