Room 220, Hyde Hall

A campus screening of the new documentary film on Hugo Chavez and the political conflict in Venezuela featuring an appearance by the film’s producer, local filmmaker Chris Moore.

“Puedo Hablar? May I Speak” is a new documentary film by Sol Productions which chronicles the 2006 presidential elections in Venezuela. Sol Productions spent two months on location filming interviews and events with people from across the political spectrum.  The film offers its audience a portrait of a Venezuelan society at a crossroads with a re-elected president challenged by mounting opposition and a divided state, but one from which the Sol team manages to extract glimmers of hope for renewed dialogue and a bridging of the political gap.

This documentary offers a snapshot of a society in its ninth year under Chavez: a valuable launching point from which its audience will more aptly understand the current status of Venezuela and its president.  It offers a unique and intriguing insight to the role of pluralism and dialogue not just in the realm of Venezuelan politics but also that of global relations.

Questions and answers will follow the screening.

This event is sponsored jointly by the Languages and Linguistics Department and the Latin American Studies Council.  All are welcome to attend.

Room 001, Boyd Science Center

Field Studies of Aspects of Troposheric Halogen Chemistry
This talk will provide an overview of the sources of reactive halogen species (RHS) in the troposphere, the multiphase processes in which they participate and their potential impacts on oxidizing capacity and aerosol nucleation and growth. The results of several field campaigns focused on RHS in both coastal and open ocean regions will be described. Presented by: Alex Pszenny, Research Associate Professor, Climate Change Research Center at UNH’s Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space (EOS) and Chief Scientist, Mount Washington Observatory.

Room 001, Boyd Science Center

Trends in New England Hydroclimate as Reflected in the Record of the Pemigewasset River at Plymouth, NH
This talk will present a characterization of the hydroclimatic history of the Pemigewasset watershed. This study is a valuable source of information for the New England hydroclimate because: (1) there is a 100-yr record of continuous streamflow from the Pemi at Plymouth (2nd longest in NE); (2) there are no direct anthropogenic influences at site; (3) Plymouth, NH is located at the geographic center of New England; and (4) Hubbard Brook data was used to provide further insight into emerging trends. Specifically the talk explores the Pemi streamflow time-series to detect long-term trends; the land use history & impact of land-use changes on the Pemi basin; the correlation of streamflow data with Hubbard Brook and climatic data from Bethlehem, NH; trends in the Hubbard Brook and Bethlehem data; and the correlation between streamflow, precipitation and the North Atlantic Oscillation. Presented by:Alison Culity,The Cadmus Group, Inc.

Northern goshawk nesting habitat in New Hampshire
Large, wide-ranging avian predators such as the northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) are keystone species in the matrix forests of northeastern US and Canada. The northern goshawk is designated as a species of greatest conservation concern in the NH Wildlife Action Plan because of its association with large tracts of forests and the rate at which forest habitat is being converted to other uses in this state. There is very little historical or contemporary data on the status, reproductive success, and nesting habitat of this raptor in New England. This information is essential for producing locally-based habitat management and conservation guidelines for this keystone species on public, private non-industrial, federal, and industrial forest lands. To address this information gap, biologists from the Northern Research Station have been locating nests, banding birds and describing habitat in the White Mountain National Forest region for several years and have recently expanded this effort to a state-wide level. This talk will discuss what we’ve learned so far about the nesting habitat of the northern goshawk in New Hampshire. Presented by: Christine Costello, Wildlife Biologist, US Forest Service Northeastern Research Station.
