Inside the Global Climate Summit - May 2022

7–8 p.m. Wednesday, May 18 (virtual)

Register for this virtual talk by Distinguished Professor of geography and biogeography Tom Veblen. As new climate adaptation frameworks evolve, it is critical that they be based on a sound understanding of how climate variability affects the key broad-scale disturbances of wildfire and tree-killing insect outbreaks, Veblen asserts.

Through June 9 at Sustainability, Energy and Environment Community (SEEC), south lobby gallery, 4001 Discovery Drive

In the exhibition Airborne Era, CU Boulder science communicator and artist Kelsey Simpkins explores our increasingly complex relationship with the air we breathe amid COVID-19, climate change-fueled wildfires and ground-level ozone spikes. Funded by the Nature Environment Science Technology (NEST) Studio for the Arts.

Through July 16 at the CU Art Museum, Main Campus

This light and sound installation is organized around elements of air, earth, fire, water and aether. The work includes field recordings artist LaMont Hamilton captured during his research and travels to Europe and North and South America, where he gained "a ground-zero understanding of our changing Earth. Hearing glaciers cracking, smelling forest fires, the mechanical cacophony of land being razed—all felt on a cellular level.” See more on the Museum's website.
