Curiosity Talks: Archaeology’s Deep Time Perspective on Environment & Sustainability
September 12 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm MST
Free
The deep-time perspective that archaeology, geology, and related disciplines provide about natural hazards, environmental change, and societal development is often ignored when societies today make decisions affecting social sustainability and human safety. Studies of ancient peoples and natural events can help modern society deal with problems of environmental and social change, overpopulation, and sustainability.
This presentation by Executive Director of the Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, Allen Dart, RPA, looks at the long-term effects of exposure to natural chemical hazards, ancient and modern agricultural techniques, and biological and geological records of past climate and natural disasters, to show the value of research in subject areas that are “beyond history.”
Stick around after the presentation for drinks and conversation with fellow attendees!
