SUMMARY:Dr. Abe Miller-Rushing\, “Managing for Climate Change in Our National Parks”
DESCRIPTION:National parks were originally established with the goal of preserving resources as they were in the past. That goal is no longer feasible. Dr. Miller-Rushing will describe how national park managers are adjusting their approach to manage for change and the science they are using to inform their decisions. He will specifically talk about work going on in Acadia National Park\, which serves as a model for how national park managers can adjust to a changing climate. \nDr. Miller-Rushing is the Science Coordinator for Acadia National Park\, where he has worked since 2010. He oversees research in the park and leads the science strategy to meet the park’s priority needs. Dr. Miller-Rushing’s own research focuses on protected area management\, forest responses to climate change\, and citizen science. He helped to establish the Citizen Science Association and the USA National Phenology Network\, a national network to monitor the impacts of climate change plants and animals. He received his bachelors in Biology from Grinnelll College in Iowa and his Ph.D. in Ecology\, Behavior\, and Evolution from Boston University.

SUMMARY:Dr. Jim Basker\, "Black Lives Have Always Mattered: American History and the Gilder Lehrman Institute in 2020"
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW! \nIn this talk\, which will be dedicated to the memory of Richard Gilder\, Dr. Jim Basker will present 6 or 7 moments in American history that were shaped by the African American presence\, often in unexpected or forgotten ways. The focus will be on key documents\, from a rare printing of the Declaration of Independence and a unique letter that Frederick Douglass wrote to his former master\, to a 1926 NAACP poster and a civil rights placard from 1968. While progress is never smooth\, it is always made possible by education and perseverance. \nBasker is president of the Gilder Lehrman Institute and Richard Gilder Professor of Literary History at Barnard College\, Columbia University. As president of the Gilder Lehrman Institute since 1997\, Basker has overseen the development of history education initiatives nationwide\, including history high schools\, teacher seminars\, traveling exhibitions\, digital archives\, and the National History Teacher of the Year Award program. \nBasker has also served as project director for several history exhibitions at the New York Historical Society\, including Alexander Hamilton: The Man Who Made Modern America (2004–2005)\, Lincoln in His Own Words: An Intimate View of Our Greatest President (2009)\, and John Brown: The Abolitionist and His Legacy (2009–2010). He is an elected member of the Society of American Historians and former fellow of the American Antiquarian Society. He serves on Mount Vernon’s Scholarly Advisory Board\, the boards of the Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize and the Frederick Douglass Book Prize\, and as a trustee of the New-York Historical Society. \nBasker was educated at Harvard\, Cambridge\, and Oxford\, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He taught for seven years at Harvard University before coming to New York\, and he has been a visiting professor at NYU\, Cambridge University\, and Rogue Community College in Oregon. He is also founder and president of OxBridge Academic Programs\, which has sponsored summer programs and teacher seminars in Oxford\, Cambridge\, Paris\, and Barcelona for more than twenty years. \nHis publications include Amazing Grace: Poems about Slavery 1660–1810 (2002)\, Early American Abolitionists (2005)\, and American Antislavery Writing: Colonial Beginnings to Emancipation (2012) as well as scores of essays and educational booklets on various topics in English and American history and literature. \nThanks to Richard Gilder\, Dr. Basker has a long and recurring connection to Islesboro. Gilder invited Basker and his family to Islesboro often over the years\, so he now counts many people on Islesboro as friends. \nHe will be introduced by Islesboro resident and Oxford classmate\, John Rex Waller.

SUMMARY:Beth Orcutt\, "Deep Sea Frontiers: What Happens as Humanity Seizes the Seafloor?"
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW! \nWill your next cell phone or solar panel contain heavy metals from the seafloor? Could strange life in the deep sea contain the genetic blueprint for a new blockbuster drug or industrial enzyme? Join Dr. Beth Orcutt for an introduction to the vast and diverse underbelly of life on Earth found deep in our oceans. Learn how this life benefits humanity\, and how the deep sea connects to recommendations of the Maine Climate Council to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. \nDr. Orcutt has been a Senior Research Scientist at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences since 2012\, where she leads a team to study the weird microscopic life that lives at the bottom of the ocean. For her research\, Dr. Orcutt has traveled far and wide: to the bottom of the ocean\, exploring underwater hydrothermal vents in remote oceans and oil seeps in the Gulf of Mexico; to remote lakes of the Canadian Arctic reachable only by helicopter; and to research labs around the world\, including a recent sabbatical in Germany. She was recently awarded the Asahiko Taira Prize for Scientific Research from the American Geophysical Union\, the largest international scientific society for Earth science. She received her Ph.D. degree in Marine Sciences from the University of Georgia Athens.

SUMMARY:Bruce Blankenfeld\, Master Navigator\, "Rediscovery of Ocean Heritage"
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW!  \nMaster Maritime Navigator and Hōkūle‘a Captain\, Bruce Blankenfeld will discuss ancient Polynesian navigation techniques\, the perpetuation of these\, and the Hōkūle‘a’s “Mālama Honua” (the recent worldwide voyage in traditional voyaging sailing canoes). \n\nCaptain Blankenfeld serves as PWO Navigator and crew training coordinator for the World Wide Voyage. He is employed as a foreman by McCabe Hamilton and Renny (stevedoring contractor) and is a long distance paddler and coach for Hui Nalu Canoe Club. His most recent voyage as captain and navigator was the 2009 training sail from Hawai‘i to Palmyra and back in preparation for Hōkūle‘a’s Worldwide Voyage. Bruce serves as a director of crew training for the voyage. \nBruce began his association with Polynesian Voyaging Society in 1977 by volunteering for the maintenance of Hōkūle’a while training for crew on day and night sails. \nIn 1990\, he began formal navigation training with Nainoa Thompson and Mau Plailug\, which included a nine-day sail on Hokule’a out of sight of land in 1991. On the 1992 voyage to Rarotonga\, he served as an apprentice navigator on Hokule’a from Rarotonga\, Cook Islands to Tahiti (800 miles\, 8 day) and then as co-navigator\, with Kimo Lyman\, from the Tahiti to Hawai’i. \nAfter many decades of sailing and navigating\, in 2007\, on Ku Holo Mau\, the voyage to Satawal\, Bruce was captain and navigator of Hōkūle‘a from Hawa’i to Pohnpei. He rejoined the crew for the sail from Chuuk to Satawal\, where he was one of five Hawaiians inducted into PWO by Mau Piailug. \n\nBruce will be introduced by Emily and Sophie Kelley-Lau. Emily and Sophie were born in Hawaiʻi and lived there until they were 10 and 8\, after which they moved to Islesboro. Although they were welcomed into the loving community of Islesboro\, they missed their native\, vibrant culture. When the Hōkūleʻa sailed into Mount Desert Island\, it was like a breath of warm Hawaiian air. Since first seeing and learning about the ancient traditions of Polynesian voyaging\, the sisters have hoped to become a greater part of the Mālama Honua mission that Bruce introduced to them in Southwest Harbor. \n\n\nTo understand how the ancient Polynesian marine navigation described by Forum speaker Bruce Blankenfeld is different from\, and persuasively challenges the theory of “Pacific float” asserted by Thor Heyerdahl  in his book Kon Tiki\, please read this Smithsonian Magazine article addressing the competing theories.

SUMMARY:Francesca Zambello and Tim O’Leary\, “Spotlight on the Opera Blue”
DESCRIPTION:Blue\, a new opera by Jeanine Tesori and Tazewell Thompson that had its premiere at The Glimmerglass Festival last summer\, centers on the hopes and fears of a young Black couple as they raise a son in 21st-century America.

The opera was set for subsequent performances at Washington National Opera\, Lyric Opera of Chicago and Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival\, before cancellations were announced due to the ongoing pandemic. \nGlimmerglass Festival Artistic Director Francesca Zambello speaks with Washington National Opera General Director Timothy O’Leary about the process of bringing Blue from commission\, to its world premiere\, to ultimately receiving the Music Critics Association of North America’s award for Best New Opera. They will be joined by renowned baritone and featured Blue performer\, Gordon Hawkins\, and introduced by Betsy Cohen\, Islesboro summer resident\, opera lover and financial sponsor of Blue.

SUMMARY:Penobscot Bay: Exploitation\, Collapse & Now\, Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Karen Alexander\, Bill Leavenworth\, James Wilson.\n \nPenobscot Bay lies at the midpoint of the coast\, creating the confluence of northern and southern waters\, with the river\, a watershed.  Chellie Pingree\, Maine’s 1st District representative to Congress notes\, “Our lives are so affected by so much of the watershed\, up and down the river…this is a critically important region to the rest of the state.  People care deeply about the health of the Bay because our economies are built on tourism and fishing.”  The Penobscot Watershed Conference in which she took part in May had 300 conferees considering the region’s environment\, industries\, and climate\, the Penobscot’s history and future impact upon us.  Bill Leavenworth\, was a participant\, looking into the history of fisheries\, possible reasons for their declines and the likelihood of fisheries restoration.  He is one of the principal historians for the Fresh and Salt Water Fishery research team\, under the leadership of Professor Emeritus James Wilson.  Wilson is a prominent marine biologist particularly concerned with policy and fisheries governance systems. Both experts work with Karen Alexander\, also a member of the team.  A research fellow at UMA Amherst\, she is an author\, has worked on three or more movies about the Marine ecosystem and is completing her PhD at the University of New Hampshire.  The three university experts will present visuals for us\, and a panel discussion on their findings and expectations for the Penobscot\, a prime element in the current life and future of the State of Maine\, its people and chief industries. Prepare your questions!

DESCRIPTION:Ryan Martin\, Leila Pike\, TL Tutor. \nThe island is waking up and taking action to anticipate dramatic changes ahead. \nIslesboro’s new generation of expertise\, represented by TL Tutor\, Leila Pike\, and Ryan Martin will present how our island community is positioned\, or not\, to deal with the threats and challenges of climate change\, discussing sea level rise\, renewable energy\, local food production\, and steps we can take to get ready for the future. \nWith both a BA and MA in Engineering from McGill University\, Leila Pike is now a project engineer specializing in coastal modeling\, water resources\, and hydraulics for a firm in Portland.  She has been involved in evaluating Maine’s coastal resiliency\, and modeling 100-year coastal storm surge flood levels for Maine and Louisiana\, a part of FEMA’s flood remapping appeals process. \nTL Tutor\, one in the sixth generation of an Islesboro family\, received his BS in Economics\, then back-packed through South America learning about sustainable habitats\, artists\, permaculture\, and skilled stone-working projects.  Returning to our island he created his own project\, building a solar-powered workshop for the family business\, Hatch & Sons.  He then moved to Portland to get involved in renewable energy.  TL now works with ReVision Energy as a solar and heat pump design specialist\, concerned with reducing energy bills and carbon footprints\, the practical investments in home heating and energy efficiency. \nRyan Martin is known by many as the Horticulture teacher at Islesboro Central School\, for a program that brings thousands of pounds of organic produce to the island to engage student learning at the school’s on–campus farm. He has completed his MA in Sustainable Food Systems\, and teaches\, though more occasionally\, at a local community college.
