SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Eradicating Global Hunger: Is Genetically Modified Food (GMO) a Solution? - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:Eradicating Global Hunger: Is Genetically Modified Food (GMO) a Solution? \nJulian Kunnie\, University of Arizona\, Religious Studies/Classics/Africana Studies/Indigenous/Globalization Studies \nTechnological innovations in the early 21st century have promoted the development of genetically modified seeds and foods\, as a potential solution to the crisis of world hunger.   Eighty percent of the corn\, soy\, and cotton cultivated in the U.S. today\, is genetically modified. Is GMO seed and food production the best solution to address hunger and food shortages? What are the environmental and agricultural consequences of pervasive GMO seed cultivation in the U.S and abroad? Are GMO’s dangerous? Do GMO’s affect our health and welfare today? Join us for an exploration of the impact of technology on our food and future.

SUMMARY:The Gila: River of History - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 16 \n6:00 – 8:00 p.m. \nKirk-Bear Canyon Library \n8959 E Tanque Verde Rd\, Tucson\, AZ 85749 \nThe Gila: River of History with Gregory McNamee \nSix hundred miles long from its source in the mountains of southwestern New Mexico to its confluence with the Colorado River above Yuma\, the Gila has been an important avenue for the movement of populations—birds\, animals\, plants\, and peoples—across the desert for millennia. Many cultures have sprung up on its banks\, and millions of people depend on the river today—whether they know it or not. Gregory McNamee\, author of the prizewinning book Gila: The Life and Death of an American River\, presents a biography of this vital resource\, drawing on Native American stories\, pioneer memoirs\, the writings of modern naturalists such as Aldo Leopold and Edward Abbey\, and other sources. Think of it as 70 million years of history packed into an entertaining\, informative hour. \nGregory McNamee is a writer\, editor\, photographer\, and publisher. He is the author of forty books and of more than five thousand articles and other publications. He is a contributing editor to the Encyclopædia Britannica\, a research fellow at the Southwest Center of the University of Arizona\, and a lecturer in the Eller School of Management\, also at the University of Arizona. For more about him\, visit his web page at www.gregorymcnamee.com. \nPhoto credit: Gila River by  Gregory McNamee \nFor more programs and info about Water/Ways\, visit azhumanities.org/waterwaysAZ \n  \n

SUMMARY:Hydrology and Water Resources 101 - Bisbee
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 22 \n5:30 – 7:00 p.m. \nCopper Queen Library \n6 Main St\, Bisbee\, AZ 85603 \nHydrology and Water Resources 101 with Victoria Hermosilla \nAs we move into the 21st century\, our water resources and management will need to become more adaptive under the pressures of population growth and less predictable weather patterns.  This interactive and discussion-based presentation covers the water cycle\, surface water and groundwater basics with considerations of water usage as it relates water & energy and water & food.  Victoria will also provide access to groundwater models and other informational displays. \nVictoria Hermosilla was born on a small ranch in southern California with five wells that frequently went dry\, and discussions of rain\, drought\, and everything in between. This constant water awareness continued when she moved to Arizona in 2006.  She earned an associate’s of science at Cochise Community College then a bachelor’s degree in Hydrogeology from Northern Arizona University. She began working for Clear Creek Associates in 2012 as a field hydrologist where the majority of her work was with the mines and their groundwater contamination challenges.  When she wasn’t working in the field\, she spent some time volunteering with Watershed Management Group assisting fellow citizens install passive and active rainwater harvesting features. She was inspired to come back to school for a master’s degree after hearing Dr. Tom Meixner speak at the 2015 Arizona Hydrological Symposium. Her initial interest in water stems from her experiences and geography; her continued interest in water stems from not only a desire to have job security\, but also to help her community and her country. Her goal is to one day lead the Arizona Department of Water Resources and contribute to the solutions of future. \n
