SUMMARY:Dark Skies over Arizona with Kevin Schindler
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nThere’s nothing like standing under a dark\, star-spangled night sky to quiet the mind and reduce stress\, share an experience of awe with family and friends\, and to inspire creative thoughts. Yet such dark skies are a disappearing resource\, with only 20% of the world living in a place where the center of our Milky Way Galaxy is visible. Arizona knows a thing or two about this problem and has played a leading role in reducing artificial light pollution. This program will look at the benefits of dark skies\, how Arizona has helped lead the charge to protect them\, and how we all can do our part in reducing artificial light pollution. \nThis program is cohosted by Keep Sedona Beautiful. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nKevin Schindler is the historian at Lowell Observatory\, where he has worked for 28 years as an active member of the Flagstaff history and science communities. Schindler has given more than 1\,000 presentations and written more than 600 magazine and newspaper articles on subjects ranging from local history and astronomy to baseball and the Lincoln Memorial\, and contributes a bi-weekly astronomy column\, “View from Mars Hill”\, for the Arizona Daily Sun newspaper. Schindler has written nine books\, including Historic Tales of Flagstaff (written with Mike Kitt). Fun fact: Kevin has both a fossil crab and asteroid named after him.

SUMMARY:The Colorado River and its Wonders: A Study in Water Use and Conservation with Jim Turner
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nThe Colorado River is a critical source of the West’s water supply\, supporting 40 million people\, nearly 6 million acres of agriculture\, and tribes across seven states and portions of Mexico. At 1\,450 miles long the Colorado River is the sixth longest river in the United States. The river flows through seven states and covers 244\,000 square miles\, about 1/12th of the United States. Known for its dramatic canyons\, whitewater rapids\, and eleven U.S. National Parks\, the Colorado River and its tributaries are a vital source of water. An extensive system of dams\, reservoirs\, and aqueducts divert almost its flow for agricultural irrigation and urban water supply. Its large flow and steep gradient (10\,184 ft above sea level to 58 feet in the Mexicali Valley) are used to generate hydroelectric power to several western states and Nebraska. This presentation discusses the geology\, geography\, exploration\, national parks\, and the state of the river today with its natural beauty\, current difficulties\, and solutions. \nThis program is cohosted by Keep Sedona Beautiful.  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nArizona Historical Society’s beloved historian\, Jim Turner\, has worked with more than seventy local history museums. He co-authored the 4th-grade textbook The Arizona Story\, and his pictorial history\, Arizona: Celebration of the Grand Canyon State\, was a 2012 Southwest Books of the Year selection. Turner moved to Tucson in 1951\, earned an MA in U.S. history in 1999\, and has been teaching Arizona history for 47 years. His numerous books include: The Mighty Colorado from the Glaciers to the Gulf (2016)\, Four Corners USA: Wonders of the American Southwest (2018)\, and Arizona: A History of the Grand Canyon State (2021). \n

SUMMARY:Use of Meteorites Among Native American Cultures - Sedona
DESCRIPTION:Meteorites Among Ancient Native American Cultures\nThe occurrence of meteorites on archaeological sites in North America has been known since the early 19th century. From the Hopewell culture in the eastern United States\, to the Polar Eskimo\, to the Indians in the American Southwest and northern Mexico\, meteorites have been found on these ancient sites. Much like meteorite hunters of today\, ancient Native American cultures actively engaged in meteorite collecting.  Although we cannot know if a meteorite fall was ever witnessed\, the discovery of meteorites  at ancient sites and the artifacts made from meteoritic iron appeared to have been reserved for ceremonial purposes. \nKenneth Zoll is the Executive Director of the Verde Valley Archaeology Center in Camp Verde. He is also a volunteer docent at cultural heritage sites in the Coconino National Forest. He has conducted extensive fieldwork in cultural astronomy of the Southwest and is a certified instructor in cultural astronomy with the Arizona Archaeological Society. He is currently working with Arizona State University’s Center for Meteorite Studies on the use of meteorites among ancient Southwest cultures. Zoll is the author of several popular books on cultural astronomy and rock art in Central Arizona\, as well as several cultural astronomy articles in professional publications.
