 | A New History for the Ancient Southwest
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
New discoveries in southwestern archaeology reveal an ancient American Southwest that had a lively history, with rises and falls, successes and failures, nobles and commoners, and war and peace. Stephen Lekson, professor of anthropology, will present a new southwestern archaeology, developed in large part from CU-Boulder’s excavations and research, and illustrated with artifacts from the CU Museum of Natural History's famous archaeological collections.
This program is part of the CU on the Weekend program, a series of one-day classes offered through Continuing Education. Take advantage of the unique opportunity to interact with some of CU-Boulder's best faculty and learn more about their academic passions. For complete class descriptions visit conted.colorado.edu/programs/cu-on-the-weekend. Advance registration is required. |
 | Exhibition: “the invisible connectedness of things”
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The exhibit the invisible connectedness of things created by internationally recognized visual artist Kim Abeles and co-presented by the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History and EcoArts Connections will be on display Tuesday Jan. 17 – Monday Oct. 1, 2012.
The exhibit is inspired by the spectacular structure, colors and longevity of lichens and the fact that they are bio-monitors of pollution. With a 16’ video wall, photos, paintings, puzzles, sculpture, “smog collector" plates and more, the exhibit explores the effects that transportation choices have on Boulder’s air quality. The project has been created in collaboration with atmospheric scientists, emissions specialists, lichenologists, transportation professionals and middle school students, among others. This exhibit is commissioned by EcoArts Connections (EAC) and co-presented by the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History and EAC in collaboration with Envirotest - Air Care Colorado, Manhattan Middle School and Spark: UCAR Science Education. |
 | Burning Issues: The Fourmile Canyon Fire
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
The exhibit “Burning Issues: The Fourmile Canyon Fire” includes a visual history of how the fire started and spread, interviews with firefighters, residents and scientists. Displays highlight the role weather, geography and forest density play in the spread and intensity of fires.
Related programs examine how communities and developers adapt to areas susceptible to fires. Visitors learn why forest fires in the Rockies differ from those in other areas and what types of fires are natural for the forests in Boulder County. Burning questions such as “Do trees killed by bark beetles increase fire danger?” and “What can we learn from fire scarred trees?” are answered. |
