SUMMARY:What Happened Before the Big Bang? with Ethan Siegel
DESCRIPTION:In the 1920’s\, cosmologists theorized that the Universe originated from a hotter\, denser state: this led to what we know today as the Big Bang. By extrapolating backwards to a variety of temperatures and times\, we were able to predict a number of consequences of this scenario. But this extrapolation led to problems as well: things that were observed but weren’t predicted. Scientists couldn’t simply give up and conclude that we couldn’t figure out what came before the beginning. Ethan Siegel will share how the last 40 years of research has uncovered what happened before – and beyond – the Big Bang\, and where the frontiers of knowledge are today.

SUMMARY:Red Planet Mars
DESCRIPTION:Mars and Earth have much in common. They’re both small rocky planets\, and although Mars is smaller\, both planets have a similar length of day.  Both planets have ice at the poles\, and Mars may even have water flowing like Earth.  Mars also may have quakes and similar geologic features. Scientists have been gathering evidence that Mars\, too\, may hold ancient life\, in the form of microbes.  This lecture will be given by Jim Todd\, Director of Space Science Education at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry (OMSI).

SUMMARY:Past-to-Future: Vanishing Glaciers in the Deschutes Basin
DESCRIPTION:From fish to farms\, from flora to fire hazard\, glaciers are crucial to our well-being. And yet… \nOregon’s glaciers are the natural water reservoirs of the high Cascade water towers. Glacier meltwater sustains rivers during the late summer and fall for flora\, fauna and irrigation. The glacier melt chills streams for salmon and trout\, with the attendant effect of cooling surrounding forests that reduces fire risk and intensity. In short\, glaciers are an integral part of Central Oregon ecosystems and economies. \nAnd yet\, we do not know how many glaciers remain today in the basin\, let alone how many existed a century ago. In this talk\, Dr. Anders Carlson will present on the Oregon Glacier Institute’s findings from the first census of glaciers in Oregon since the 1950s. You will hear how these glacier changes are related to regional climate change\, concluding the discussion on what the future holds for the remaining glaciers in the Deschutes Basin. \nWhere: Zoom\, coz Covid.
