Join the Department of Geography for the Colloquium Series talk with Aurora Roth on “What we (don’t) talk about when we talk about science in Greenland.”
Free and open to the public
Aurora Roth is a PhD candidate at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, working with Dr. Fiamma Straneo. With an interdisciplinary team, they explore the connections between glaciers, ocean, ecosystems, and climate in Greenland’s glacial fjords. She has been part of icy research and education in Alaska, Antarctica, and Greenland for over a decade and is passionate about creating responsive, reflective, and inclusive science that benefits Arctic communities and people.
The fjords of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) are meeting places. They are where freshwater from ice melt meets the salty ocean and where deep, warm, nutrient-rich ocean waters meet glaciers, sustaining ecosystems that Greenlandic communities rely on for hunting and fishing. And now, they are places where Greenlandic hunters and fishers are meeting research boats and cruise ships. In the last decade, research and interest in Greenland has amplified–this has consequences for the kinds of science that is possible and for how Greenlanders respond to international science interest in their home. How are Greenlanders viewing this current moment and what are they asking of foreign scientists who come to do research in Greenland? What are the responsibilities of a scientist, like myself, studying melting ice in Greenland? I’ll share some current research and how our research group is navigating the colonial past and present that all science is embedded in.

Dear friends and supporters of OIMB, Please join us at an exclusive retirement event to celebrate the remarkable career of Professor Emeritus Craig Young, longtime director and professor at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB). With your support, Craig has made many meaningful contributions over the years, both scientifically and in our educational mission, including significant infrastructural and programmatic changes that benefit the local communities. As part of this retirement celebration, Craig will introduce you to our new director, Amy Moran, who received her PhD at OIMB several decades ago, and is now a highly respected scientist from the University of Hawaii. Her many fields of expertise include the biology of animals living in extreme conditions under Antarctic ice. Please join us for a reception honoring Craig and welcoming Amy as we transition to the next chapter of leadership at OIMB.
