SUMMARY:GES Fall 2026 Colloquium Series: Sea-level Rise and Riverine Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jonathan Phillips\, Chief Scientist at Croatan Earth Systems\, NC and Professor Emeritus\, Department of Geography at the University of Kentucky\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMost studies of wetland response to sea-level rise are concerned with changes in elevation of salt marsh surfaces relative to the rate of coastal submergence. Marsh surface area increases if there is an accretionary surplus or declines due to fringe erosion or internal fragmentation. The most common case is a net loss of wetlands due to erosion and drowning. Maintaining marsh habitats and minimizing the rate of loss is seem primarily as a function of the ability of marshes to “climb” adjacent uplands by expanding laterally as the marsh surface accretes. Application of this framework to riverine wetlands at the head of estuaries or in the fluvial-estuarine transition zone (FETZ) often leads to the concern or conclusion that riverine wetlands lack “room to migrate\,” due to space limitations for lateral spreading imposed by relatively steep valley-side slopes. However\, riverine wetlands–freshwater and brackish are more diverse than salt marshes\, ecologically\, geomorphologically\, and hydrologically. They are also less prone to sea-level driven fringe erosion and have more degrees of freedom to respond to coastal submergence. This study examines sea-level driven changes in wetlands in the FETZ of coastal plain rivers of the Carolinas\, based on state-and transition models. Preliminary finds suggest net loss of wetlands only at the head of the estuary\, but wetland transitions throughout the FETZ. Room to migrate is not the main issue for riverine wetlands\, but rather the relative functions and values of different wetland landforms and ecosystems.

SUMMARY:GES Fall Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:“You Can’t Cook the Food If You Don’t Have the Water”: Embodied Ecologies of Resource Insecurities  \n\n\n\nDr. Cassie Workman\, Associate Professor & Director of the Health\, Medicine\, and Society Program at UNCG \n\n\n\nDr. Workman’s research illuminates the biopsychosocial realities of syndemic\, or co-occurring and overlapping\, resource insecurities. By tracing the pathways through which resource inequities are created and maintained\, she contends with the assumptions inherent in the definition and measurement of “insecurities.” Integrating social sciences into transdisciplinary approaches\, she critically engages presumably intractable “wicked water problems” and the social and environmental terrains that shape them.

SUMMARY:GES Spring Colloquium speaker series
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Freshwater biology and biogeochemistry\n\n\n\nCarbon from the Upside Down: How Ecosystem Ecology Questions the Spatiotemporal Extent of Streams\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Amanda DelVecchia\, UNC Geography and Environment\n\n\n\nStreams are broadly conceptualized as well-oxygenated\, flowing waters with life sustained by modern photosynthesis. In the past decade\, evidence of methane presence and contributions to stream processes has caused us to question this paradigm. Methane is produced in conditions without oxygen and it can be cycled through food webs\, transported downstream\, or released to the atmosphere as a potent greenhouse gas.  \n\n\n\nIn this talk I will discuss our work on how methane\, tied to the dark anoxic regions of streams\, has caused us to reconsider the extent of what constitutes a stream ecosystem. We will discuss two primary topics: how the dark and anoxic regions of streams can support stream food webs (including Bristol Bay salmon)\, and where these regions might occur and be relevant to stream carbon cycling. \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Fall 2025 Colloquium Series: Research as principled engagement
DESCRIPTION:Graham Building\, Room 106 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFall 2025 Colloquium Series\n\n\n\nResearch as principled engagement: Reflections on two decades of participatory action research on tourism microentrepreneurship\n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Duarte B. Morais of NC State University reviews two decades of scholarship grounded in reciprocal collaboration with tourism microentrepreneurs and destination communities. The People-First Tourism Lab at NC State University has developed and adapted a participatory methodology that integrates critical pedagogy\, mixed methods\, and social entrepreneurship to examine the under-studied domain of tourism microentrepreneurship and to foster endogenous community development.  \n\n\n\nMorais will summarize key findings from this body of work concerning tourism microentrepreneurs’ motivations\, self-determination\, social capital\, and self-representation. The presentation concludes with an invitation to reflect on how scholar–practitioner–activists can influence knowledge creation and instigate\, through their practice\, transformative change toward a more equitable world. \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Spring 2025 Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Illegalities from Above and Below: Making a City for Contraband in the Paraguay-Brazil Borderlands\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, March 6 @ 3:30 p.m. in Graham 106\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOutlaw Capital (University of Georgia Press\, 2023) shows how transgressive economies and gray spaces are central to globalized capitalism. With an enthography of the largest contraband economy in the Americas running through Ciudad del Este\, Paraguay\, Outlaw Capital shows how conflicts over everyday illegalities shape urban development. By studying the differential treatment of ‘elite illegalities’ and the ‘street illegalities’ of street vendors\, Outlaw Capital shows how racialized narratives of economic legitimacy across scales – not legal compliance – sort whose activities count as formal and legal\, and whose are targeted for reform or expulsion. Ultimately\, reforms criminalized the popular economy while legalizing\, protecting\, and ‘whitening’ elite illegalities. \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.
