SUMMARY:Unearthing the Past: Geologic Foundations and the Quest for Lithium in the Carolinas at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:The geologic history of the Carolinas spans over one billion years. The forces that built the foundation of the Carolinas have shuffled us between super continents and provided us a wealth of mineral resources. Human history is a tiny fraction of geologic history; however\, we have learned to exploit geology beginning with favored rocks for stone tools through lithium resources for batteries. Research into lithium in the Carolinas is significantly impacted by local\, State\, and national politics\, as well as the global market. Even over the past few years\, there have been significant swings in the enthusiasm surrounding exploration for\, and extraction of\, lithium in the Carolinas. Presently\, the US Geological Survey is taking new stock of historically mined products across the USA searching for resources once cast aside as waste but now valuable. \nThe talk will summarize the geologic history of the Carolinas and link the formation of economic deposits to their origin story. We will see the role of dating rocks in mineral exploration.

SUMMARY:Zahner Conservation Lecture Series | Understanding Helene as a Geologic Event in Southern Appalachia at Highlands Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Zahner Conservation Lecture Series Understanding Helene as a Geologic Event in Southern Appalachia…and What is a “Geologic Event” Anyway? \nPhilip S. Prince\, Ph.D.\, Project Geologist\, Appalachian Landslide Consultants\, PLLC\, Virginia Tech Department of Geosciences \n\n\nHelene’s impacts on rivers and slopes in the southern Appalachians exceeded all recorded storms\, establishing a new benchmark for flooding and landsliding from Haywood County to southwest Virginia. The storm’s severity resulted from a specific combination of weather movement and the unique southern Appalachian topography\, whose southeast-facing slopes are perfectly oriented to focus impacts of weather systems from the Gulf. This talk will place the Helene event in a geologic and topographic context\, focusing on what the storm actually did to the landscape and river channels from the perspective of fieldwork and remote sensing. LiDAR imagery and the results of past storms will shed some light on just how long the scars of Helene may last and offer some insight into just how important similar storms may have been in shaping the mountains into what we see today. \nSponsored by Ruthie & Berry Edwards.

SUMMARY:Weathering the Storm: Understanding Climate's Impact on Our Future at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and the raging fires in California\, extreme weather is a topic of wide public concern. When someone asks about the weather\, the focus is typically on what is going on now. When someone asks about climate\, the focus is much broader – the weather over time. The answers to those questions involve a host of variables: pollutants in the atmosphere\, volcanic activity\, solar winds\, and the salinity and temperature of the oceans\, etc. \nDr. Shepherd will discuss how these variables shape weather patterns we experience daily and what can be done now to manage and mitigate their most serious consequences over time. It is a discussion that encompasses not only science and technology but political\, economic\, and social disruption.
