SUMMARY:MDI Science Cafe: Exploring Future Sea Levels with Science\, History\, and Art on Mount Desert Island
DESCRIPTION:How do we document the changing coastline of Mount Desert Island? How can history\, science\, and art come together to help us understand and prepare for the future? \nOn June 9\, join MDI Biological Laboratory Science Cafe panelists Raney Bench (Executive Director at Mount Desert Island Historical Society)\, artist Jennifer Booher\, Catherine Schmitt (Science Communication Specialist at Schoodic Institute) at this hybrid event to discuss how the “Coast Lines” project uses community art\, and science to track sea levels & storm surges. \nPart of the Landscape of Change initiative\, Coast Lines is a public science-history-art project focused on documenting past\, present\, and future storm surges and sea levels on Mount Desert Island. In 2024\, this work took on new and greater relevance as multiple record-setting winter storms impacted waterfronts and ecosystems all around the island. \nJoin us for an update on installations of the “Coast Lines” stencil that involved community partners\, teachers\, and students\, as well as how sea level observations contributed by volunteers have informed scientific models of future sea levels and storms. \nThe panel will also share some lessons learned from engaging the community in thinking about the coastal landscape and how it is changing\, both subtly and dramatically\, and where we’d like to go from here. \nTo register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:MDI Science Café presents Coast Lines: Sea Level Rise and Collaboration on MDI
DESCRIPTION:Part of the on-going “Landscape of Change” collaboration\, join speakers Raney Bench\, Catherine Schmitt\, and others to share your observations of sea level rise and its impacts\, and learn how to get involved. \n\nA collaborative effort to document and understand sea level rise on MDI continues with new partners and new initiatives\, as the island contends with the significant damage to coastal ecosystems and properties seen this winter. \nThis work inspired a series of art installations indicating where future sea levels will be and how they will impact the landscape and infrastructure. The Maine Coast Heritage Trust and Gulf of Maine Research Institute are new partners this year\, bringing together new resources in a new effort to engage island communities in documenting and planning for sea level rise. \nMount Desert Island Historical Society Executive Director Raney Bench is passionate about the power of the past and how history impacts our daily lives. She has built a career in small museum work and loves to see people light up when they encounter an interesting or surprising object or artifact. Raney has worked in several small New England museums in education\, exhibits\, collections management\, and as an Executive Director. \nAs Science Communication Specialist\, Catherine Schmitt works with Schoodic Institute and National Park Service staff to write and share stories of science past and present\, manage communications for Second Century Stewardship\, and provide science communication training for researchers working in our national parks. \nTo learn more and register\, please visit https://mdibl.org/event/coast-lines-mdi/.

SUMMARY:Landscape of Change: Exploring the Past to Build a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:Join Raney Bench\, Executive Director of the Mount Desert Island Historical Society\, to learn how historical records can shed light on our changing climate. \nTo understand how climate change affects the landscape\, we need to look to the past. Our ancestors documented the natural world around them in stories\, reports\, journals\, diaries\, and letters\, which are cared for in the collections of history museums and libraries. Increasingly\, scientists are pulling observations and data from historic records to get a clearer picture of the natural world of the past to understand how the present is changing. \nThis program is hosted by Ellsworth Historical Society\, Ellsworth Public Library\, Mount Desert Island Historical Society\, and Green Ellsworth.

SUMMARY:Landscape of Change: Historic Acadia National Park
DESCRIPTION:Join Landscape of Change partners and Smithsonian Associates on Thursday\, June 8\, 2023 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. (via Zoom) to learn about how you can help document sea level rise. \nFor centuries\, the coastal location and diverse landscape of Maine’s Acadia National Park – featuring mountain summits\, rocky shores\, and wooded valleys – have drawn Indigenous residents\, explorers\, settlers\, and visitors in search of beauty and inspiration. The juxtaposition of landscape has created a unique region and a haven for scientists. Their centuries of written records\, specimen collections\, and oral histories have provided baselines for understanding environmental change on Mount Desert Island and beyond. \nSchoodic Institute’s Science Communication Specialist Catherine Schmitt will share the story of science in Acadia\, including how the records of university students helped inspire the conservation efforts which led to the formation of the national park\, and how this legacy is helping scientists today document a rapidly changing world. \nThis presentation will take place online via Zoom. Registration required – click here to sign up today.

SUMMARY:MDI Science Café: Landscape of Change - Imagining the Future Shore
DESCRIPTION:How will rising seas affect the places we care about? During MDI Biological Laboratory’s Science Café\, join Mount Desert Island Historical Society Executive Director Raney Bench\, artist Jennifer Booher\, and Schoodic Institute Science Communication Specialist Catherine Schmitt as they discuss an ongoing project to document sea level rise around Mount Desert Island. \n\nHistorical images and records\, combined with the latest information on current and future sea level rise\, informed a project with Mount Desert Island High School to explore the future shoreline. The team will share perspectives from the students and community members\, lessons learned so far and what happens next. Schoodic Institute’s continued collaboration on Landscape of Change won an Award of Excellence from the American Association for State and Local History in 2022. \nMount Desert Historical Executive Director Raney Bench is passionate about the power of the past and how history impacts our daily lives. She has built a career in small museum work and loves to see people light up when they encounter an interesting or surprising object or artifact. Raney has worked in several small New England museums in education\, exhibits\, collections management\, and as an Executive Director. \nJennifer Steen Booher is an artist and conceptual photographer living on Mount Desert Island\, where she has been exploring and studying the intertidal zone for over 20 years. She’s fascinated by the way science and history intersect within issues like ecosystem dynamics\, climate change and marine debris. \nAs Science Communication Specialist\, Catherine Schmitt works with Schoodic Institute and National Park Service staff to write and share stories of science past and present\, manage communications for Second Century Stewardship\, and provide science communication training for researchers working in our national parks. \nThis event is free.
