11… The Geography of Land Use in the Finger Lakes
March 11, 6:30 pm, Finger Lakes Institute Classroom The Geography of Land Use by Nathan Burtch, Finger Lakes Institute GIS Specialist Land is a finite resource. As this resource is consumed, it becomes more and more important to study and assess the patterns in which humans consume land. These patterns have changed much in the past few centuries, and are continuing to change. This talk will look at land use from a geographical point of view. Traditional theories of land use geography will be explained, and newer forms will be reviewed. This talk will show how the shapes of cities have changed with the onset of new technologies, and how land is used in urban, suburban, and exurban regions. Within that context, the Finger Lakes region will also be explored in terms of the region’s land use.

24… The Polaris Project: Using Multimedia Storytelling to Educate the Public about Siberia's 'Carbon Bomb'
March 24, 7:00 pm, Hobart and William Smith Colleges Albright Auditorium, Geneva, NY The Polaris Project includes a field course and research experience for undergraduate students in the Siberian Arctic, several new arctic-focused undergraduate courses taught by project scientists at their home institutions, the opportunity for those scientists to initiate research programs in the Siberian Arctic, and a wide range of student science projects and outreach activities. The guiding scientific theme is the transport and transformations of carbon and nutrients as they move with water from terrestrial uplands to the Arctic Ocean, a central issue as scientists struggle to understand the changing Arctic. The core of the Polaris Project is a field course studying arctic system science at the Northeast Science Station in Cherskiy, Siberia (north of the Arctic Circle on the Kolyma River). It is one of the most remote and beautiful places on the planet. But it is also potentially one of the most important. As our planet's climate warms, carbon that has been frozen away in the permafrost is now being thawed and released into the rivers, lakes, and atmosphere. Siberia's "carbon bomb" can have far-reaching impacts on our entire planet and way of life. Chris Linder joined the 2009 summer Polaris expedition to document the students, the science, and the environment using still photographs and audio/video recordings. Chris Linder is a Research Associate in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's Physical Oceanography Department and a professional science and natural history photographer. He received a B.S. degree in Oceanography from the United States Naval Academy and a M.S. in Ocean Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology / Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program. He currently divides his time at WHOI between researching the dynamics of ocean fronts and using photography to educate the public about scientific research. Since 2002, Chris has focused on communicating the stories of scientists working in the Arctic and Antarctic. His education and training as an oceanographer give him a special insight into photographing marine science. He has spent over a year of his life on expeditions to the polar regions. His most recent project, titled "Live from the Poles", connected researchers with the public during the International Polar Year (2007-2009) using daily online photo essays (polardiscovery.whoi.edu) and lectures "from the ice" to museum audiences nationwide via satellite phone. This project, funded by the National Science Foundation and the Richard King Mellon Foundation, took him from the Greenland Ice Sheet to penguin colonies on Antarctica's Ross Island. Chris's images have appeared in museums, books, calendars, and international magazines, including Geo (Germany), Nature's Best, Outdoor Photographer, and Wired. A solo exhibition of his photographs, titled "Exploring the Arctic Seafloor," opened at the Field Museum in Chicago in February 2007 and is currently touring science and natural history museums. He is currently working on a book titled Science on Ice for the University of Chicago Press, which will be published in Fall 2011. Linder is a member of the International League of Conservation Photographers. This program is free and open to the public.

Get welcomed back from spring break in the unique Rollins style. Tickets go on sale 12/4 at dansmallspresents.com (Link goes live that day). Tickets will cost $15.00 in advance. Early ticket buyers get the best seats… Come see this amazing wordsmith and ex-leader of Black Flag and his own Rollins Band (among others) grace our fair town for the first time in many years… MORE ABOUT THE AMAZING CAREER OF HENRY ROLLINS: More than 25 years ago, Henry Rollins made a name for himself as the frenzied, tattooed front man for the hardcore punk band Black Flag. While many of his contemporaries have long since disappeared from the stage, Rollins is still performing. The free-associating wordsmith still dabbles in music but also gives spoken-word performances and has toured with the United Service Organizations (USO), providing comic relief to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. During his career, Rollins has averaged more than 100 performances a year and shows no signs of slowing down. He has tackled Lollapalooza and Woodstock, appeared on late night television with Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno, and snagged the occasional acting gig alongside such A-list celebrities as Will Smith and Al Pacino. Rollins even won a Grammy, for the audio book Get in the Van , an account of his road-tripping band days. In 2004, Rollins moved from performing onstage to behind the camera as host of his own television show on the Independent Film Channel. At first, the show focused on movies, but by 2006, he had extended the format to also include critiques of music, politics, and pop culture amidst a steady stream of celebrity guests and musicians.

Exhibit "Burnt-over District"
The term "burnt district" was coined by Charles Grandison Finney who used this term to denote an area in central and western New York State during the Second Great Awakening. The name was inspired by the notion that the area had been so heavily evangelized during antebellum revivalism as to have no "fuel" (unconverted population) left over to "burn" (convert). Wayne County sits squarely in this district and this exhibit will explore the diverse religions within this district.
