SUMMARY:Geography Colloquium: "Stories from the Mud: The Last Three Millenn

DESCRIPTION:Please join the Department of Geography for the colloquium seri

 re from Colombia and South Africa" by Mitchell J. Power\, curator of the G
 arrett Herbarium and professor in the School of Environment\, Society and 
 Sustainability\, at University of Utah. Lake sediment records provide rema
 rkable archives of past environmental change\, preserving high-resolution 
 records of wildfire activity\, vegetation dynamics\, and climate variabili
 ty that extend far beyond the instrumental record. Drawing on over a decad
 e of paleoecological fieldwork in Colombia and South Africa\, Professor Mi
 tchell Power explores how sediment cores reveal changes in fire regimes an
 d ecosystem responses to drought\, shifts in precipitation\, and human lan
 d-use over the past several millennia. By interrogating multiple records a
 cross space and time this research reconstructs the timing\, magnitude\, a
 nd frequency of past fires while examining the climatic…\n\nhttps://loca
