Subject: One more time! CAS Interdisciplinary Research Talk: Monday, May 9, 3:30-5:00

Dear colleagues,


I invite you to join us for the final CAS Interdisciplinary Research Talks of this academic year. Much of our teaching and research in the liberal arts is multidisciplinary and collaborative. The talks are meant to encourage conversation, interest, and understanding across divisional lines in the college. To further emphasize the interdisciplinary aspect of these talks, we are very excited to have presenters from different disciplines for each of this year’s talks.


Beyond the tip of the iceberg: exploring the meaning of Greenland ice from interdisciplinary perspectives

Dave Sutherland, Professor, Earth Sciences and Environmental Studies

Mark Carey, Professor, Environmental Studies and Geography

Casey Shoop, Senior Instructor of Literature, Clark Honors College



Monday, May 9, 3:30-5:00

Location: Zoom link<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://uoregon.zoom.us/j/93969706387__;!!C5qS4YX3!GDNtBoTV_UY3kvr1WrLL_oGSURh5UWgHGdV-6u9xEPwL3SCYPJIxhQuUdJeSemyPDoruz66Ylp6rDH8a0-8WcQY$>



CAS IR Talks are approximately 45 minutes followed by a question-and-answer session.



Dave Sutherland is a physical oceanographer who uses observations and numerical simulations to explore coastal and estuarine systems. In particular, he focuses on the dynamics of glacial fjords (e.g., southeast Alaska, Greenland, Antarctic Peninsular) and the Pacific Northwest estuaries (e.g., Coos Bay, Puget Sound) and how humans interact with these environments. He has received numerous grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, Oregon Sea Grant, and NOAA that support his research and students.


Mark Carey serves as the current Director of the Environmental Studies Program. His research focuses on the human dimensions of climate change, ice, and water, with a particular focus on the Andes and the Arctic regions. He generally works in larger multidisciplinary research teams, especially with glaciologists, climate scientists, oceanographers, and many other social science and humanities fields. He runs the Glacier Lab for the Study of Ice and Society, where he prioritizes collaboration with students at all levels and across many disciplines.


Casey Shoop is the recipient of the Thomas F. Herman Award for Specialized Pedagogy. Trained primarily in North American literature and film, he uses an interdisciplinary approach in his classes to gather a range of texts, ideas, and discourses on diverse subjects, including climate change, to integrate the environmental and physical sciences, comparative biology and ethology with methods in literary and cultural theory.



Abstract: Icebergs crashing into the ocean from Greenlandic glaciers are a powerful symbol of climate change today. However, how representative are they of impending climate doom, and how do we think about icebergs, and ice in general, in context of the cultures, people, and environment local to the Greenland continent? In this talk, we explore the meanings of ice from the perspective of natural science, social science, and the humanities, and ask what we can learn together that we cannot learn using only our disciplinary lenses. Much of our talk will stem from two shared experiences: 1) a field excursion to Greenland in summer 2019 and 2) a new interdisciplinary course we co-taught in spring 2020 on Arctic Ice.



This promises to be a highly topical talk. I hope you can join us! Please see the list below of all 2021-2022 CAS Interdisciplinary Research Talks. Visit the webpage<https://cas.uoregon.edu/cas-interdisciplinary-research-talks> for details and video recordings of previous talks.



Best regards,
