She was the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and the Administrator of NOAA from 2009-2013.

SUMMARY:Before the Flood
DESCRIPTION:Leonardo DiCaprio shares his two-year journey exploring climate change and its effects around the world in this film\, featuring Barak Obama\, Elon Musk\, Bill Clinton\, and John Kerry. As DiCaprio said so eloquently as he addressed the opening of the Signature Ceremony for the Paris Agreement\, “We know that climate change is happening faster than even the most pessimistic of scientists warned us decades ago. It has become a runaway freight train bringing with it an impending disaster for all living things. \n“Now think about the shame that each of us will carry when our children and grandchildren look back and realize that we had the means of stopping this devastation\, but simply lacked the political will to do so. Our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground where they belong. An upheaval and massive change is required\, now—one that leads to a new collective consciousness\, a new collective evolution of the human race\, inspired and enabled by a sense of urgency from all of you.”

SUMMARY:Birders Night- Lake Abert: A Waterbird Oasis in an Arid Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Lake Abert: A Waterbird Oasis in an Arid Landscape \n Salty-alkaline lakes are not the kind of place you would want to call home\, after all salt is used to preserve food\, and with a pH around 10\, the water is like diluted bleach. Yet\, Lake Abert in southcentral Oregon is waterbird Mecca\, with over 80 species being reported and abundances of several hundred thousand birds noted on daily counts. Just what brings these birds to the lake is an amazing set of conditions that are subject to the whims of climate and the actions of man. The presentation will provide an introduction to this amazing lake\, yet vulnerable\, waterbird oasis. \n Ron Larson is a retired aquatic biologist from Klamath Falls\, with a special interest in lake ecosystems and species that live in them from microbes to birds. Ron has traveled widely to study freshwater and marine organisms\, including the Arctic and Antarctic\, and down 1000 m in the Bahamas using a submersible to get jellyfish\, but Lake Abert and its birds keep him returning. \nSocial gathering time is from 6:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Programs begin at 7:00 p.m. and usually last until 8:30 p.m.
