Upcoming Events
ENVS Colloquium Series Spring 26
Panel Discussion/Presentation
Dr. Johny Arteaga Guarumo, ENVS Postdoctoral Scholar "Controls of Soil Carbon Stocks Across Drylands Systems Revealed by Interpretable Machine Learning"
Ecology Center Seminar with Dr. Paul Koch
Conference/Seminar
Dr. Koch will be presenting two seminars. Please note that the Wednesday seminar will take place at 12:30 PM in ENGR 101, while the Thursday seminar will remain in BNR 102 at 4 PM. Wednesday, 4/15: "Body building in extant and extinct mammals – the role of the gut microbiome in protein metabolism." Thursday, 4/16: "What fossils tell us about the planet today – using the past to plan for the future." About Dr. Koch: I am a paleobiologist who explores questions about extinction and evolution in vertebrates, often using forensic chemistry to assess the ecology and physiology of individual organisms, extant or extinct. Earlier in my career, I focused on the extinction of megafauna at the end of the last ice age and the pulse of evolutionary and ecological change triggered by early Cenozoic global warming. Of late, I’ve focused on gleaning information useful for conservation from fossils of extant species and the extinct megafauna they interacted with them. This work also includes study of the role of the gut microbiome in animal nutrition.

Hangar Hop 2026 USU Flying Aggies
Arts/Entertainment
1940's themed big band swing dance! Come have fun in an actual aircraft hangar. Live music, 1940s dress encouraged! The USU Flight Team hosts the annual premiere fundraiser on Saturday, April 18th from 7:00-10:30 p.m. The aircraft hangar will be transformed into a 1940's USO style Hangar Hop with live music provided by the Cache Community Big Band, huge 60' parachute hanging from the ceiling and a vintage aircraft to take your dance photos. The USU Big Band Swing Dance club will provide dance instruction at 7 p.m and their demo dance team has been invited to give a demonstration. This is a wonderful event to help our USU Flying Aggies raise funds to train and travel to their annual Flight Team Regional competition. The cost for the dance is only $15 per person. Dance lessons, photo opportunities in historic aircraft, and refreshments are provided.

Jennifer Courtwright PhD Defense - Assessing ecological integrity of streams across the western U.S.
Conference/Seminar
Maintaining and restoring the ecological integrity of aquatic ecosystems is both legally mandated by the Clean Water Act and a management goal of diverse natural resource management agencies. Historically, most ecological assessments of aquatic ecosystems have focused on determining whether individual water bodies are supporting desired aquatic life conditions. However, agencies also have to report to Congress on overall status and trends in ecological condition across all streams within their jurisdiction. Ideally, assessments of ecological integrity would be both precise enough to inform site-specific management decisions and also be readily scaled up to accurately characterize watershed-, regional-, and national-scale conditions. My dissertation research improves the range of naturally occurring environmental settings to which indices of biological, chemical, and physical condition apply and scales up reach-level assessments of ecological integrity to regional and national scales in the western US.
