The era affirmed the ascendancy of Europe over the rest of the world and marked the beginning of a new phase in the history of oceanic exploration. Journeys were undertaken with clearly defined political\, economic and scientific goals\, political powers taking a hand in the organization and financing of the expeditions. A serious voyage was no longer conceivable without a group of scholars\, specialists in diverse disciplines such as astronomy\, mathematics\, physics\, natural sciences and so on.\n\nThis talk will focus on the journeys of 18th and 19th century French explorers\, adventurers and scientists who undertook the first expansive studies of flora and fauna of Terra Australis or Terres Australes\, and in particular Western Australia. The journeys will be placed in the context of the Age of Enlightenment with its emphasis on the study of the natural sciences and humanism\, as well as the creation of the new sciences of ecology and anthropology.

If the animal then attempts to investigate the mark in some way\, it is deemed to have passed the mirror test\, revealing that it recognises the other in the mirror as self. Animals pass this test by mirroring consciousness as it is experienced by humans as much as by seeing themselves in the mirror’s image.\n\nThe image of the mirror also signifies that we often understand animals as mirrors for ourselves\, constructing images of them that glorify some species in whom we see qualities we want to possess\, while simultaneously vilifying others\, often by projecting onto them human faults. Frequently\, then\, cultural representations of animals will tell us little about the animals themselves and much about the ways animals become caught up in human ideology. \n\nThis talk will explore the tension between these two meanings of mirroring by looking at three science fiction texts that deal with questions of animal sentience: Connie Willis’s ‘Samaritan’ (1985)\, Walter Miller’s ‘Conditionally Human’ (1952) and John Crowley’s ‘Beasts’ (1976). Professor Vint will contrast the mirror test’s method of defining a line between human and animal being with other constructs.\n\nSpeakers: Sherryl Vint\, Associate Professor at Brock University in St. Catharine’s\, Ontario\, Canada.

This event will be found and studied by a new telescope which\, when completed in 2020\, will be the world’s largest astronomical facility. The telescope is called the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and Western Australia is currently the front-runner in an international competition to host the SKA. The remote desert of WA\, home to Aboriginal peoples who are arguably the world’s first astronomers\, may provide mankind with its clearest view of the first objects created – the seeds of the Universe we see around us today.

The global distribution of marine productivity\, which is highest in the high latitudes\, has been well-understood for several centuries\, although this has unfortunately not prevented over-fishing.The terrestrial pattern of net primary productivity is currently thought to be the opposite of the marine pattern\, being lowest at high latitudes and highest near the equator. This is almost certainly wrong. Reanalysis and reinterpretation of published data on NPP and related plant and animal properties indicates that ecologically relevant NPP\, that which is available to plants and animals during the growing season\, is low at the equator and increases with latitude to a maximum between 50° and 60° north or south latitude\, which is the same as the marine pattern. The actual global pattern of terrestrial NPP\, and thus the constraints on sustainable land use\, are the opposite of what is currently believed\, which will require a major re-evaluation of international development and conservation strategies\, as well as a re-evaluation of much of ecological and evolutionary theory.\n\nSpeakers: by Professor Michael Huston\, Department of Biology\, Texas State University\, San Marcos and IAS Professor-at-Large 2009.

It has some relevance to the way in which theorists approach the problems of the shape\, structure\, and distribution of galaxies\, and of stellar and galactic dynamics. The first topic will be how cooperative activity in millions of interacting nerve cells in the brain leads to the formation of stable patterns of activity. The mechanism underlying such pattern formation will be used to explain the seeing of hallucinations\, near-death experiences and migraines\, and the generation of epileptic seizures. The second topic will be the effects of fluctuations and correlations of brain activity\, on the large-scale dynamics. It will be shown how non-equilibrium phase transitions occur in brain dynamics\, and how this gives rise to scaling laws that allow the interpretation of various experimental measures of large-scale brain activity such as local field potentials\, EEG and fMRI signals\, and the spiking activity of single nerve cells. This leads to a comprehensive overview of how brain states are generated\, and a theory for the origins of both random and rhythmic brain activity.\n\nSpeakers: Professor Jack Cowan\, Mathematics Department\, University of Chicago - LOCATION:Webb Lecture Theatre\, UWA URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090508T024523Z-790-8493@events.uwa.edu.au/what son/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090519T033848Z-790-12224@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20090519T033848Z CREATED:20090519T033848Z DTSTART:20090722T180000 DTEND:20090722T190000 LAST-MODIFIED:20090519T034949Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:The Environment in History\; History in the Environment ORGANIZER;CN=Institute of Advanced Studies:MAILTO:iasuwa@admin.uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:When we think of what it is that historians study\, the environment rarely springs to mind. However\, there is a long tradition of historically-informed writing about human-environment relations\, and in the midst of the rise of the new environment movement in the 1970s and 1980s\, a new sub-discipline coalesced around this theme. Following their social counterparts\, environmental historians sought to rescue the environment from ‘the enormous condescension of history’\, and use their historical knoweldge and skills to solve pressing environmental problems. However\, amidst the excitement of working in this ‘new’ interdisciplinary field\, environmental historians grappled with issues of determinism\, holism\, and interdisciplinarity (particularly with the natural sciences)\, and some began to find their central concern – whether conceived of as 'nature'\, 'ecology'\, or ‘environment’ – increasingly problematic. This lecture will explore the diverse ways in which historians have engaged with the environment\, and ask whether such engagements throw light on broader issues relating to the scope and purpose of history.\n\nSpeakers: by Dr Andrea Gaynor\, History\, UWA.

Professor Genzel will discuss measurements over the last two decades\, employing high resolution infrared and radio imaging and spectroscopy on large ground-based telescopes that prove the existence of such a massive black hole in the Center of our Milky Way\, beyond any reasonable doubt. These data also provide key insights into its properties and environment. Future interferometric studies of the Galactic Center black hole promise to be able to test gravity in its strong field limit. Professor Genzel will also briefly summarize the cosmological evolution of massive black holes.\n\nThis lecture is part of the International Year of Astronomy Lecture Series. This series of free public lectures celebrates the UN International Year of Astronomy which commemorates the 400th anniversary of the first use of an astronomical telescope by Galileo.

This event will be found and studied by a new telescope which\, when completed in 2020\, will be the world’s largest astronomical facility. The telescope is called the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and Western Australia is currently the front-runner in an international competition to host the SKA. In my talk\, I will give a broad overview of our cosmic journey back in time – what we have found so far\, what mysteries we have uncovered and what we hope to find with the new generation of telescopes we are about to build.\n\nSpeakers: Professor Peter Quinn\, Premier’s Fellow in Radio Astronomy LOCATION:University Club Auditorium URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090625T051612Z-5-26329@events.uwa.edu.au/whats on/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090625T050803Z-5-26336@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:3 DTSTAMP:20090625T050803Z CREATED:20090625T050803Z DTSTART:20090809T131500 DTEND:20090809T140000 LAST-MODIFIED:20090625T052059Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:What Difference Does Obama Make? : Professor Kim Beazley - UWA Open Day Guest Talk ORGANIZER;CN=Ian Lilburne:MAILTO:ililburne@admin.uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Barack Obama has shifted international perspectives on the US dramatically.

Why were there no survivors? And where was the wreck? \nDavid has built a formidable reputation as the world's foremost shipwreck hunter\, hunting down 21 major ships\, but finding the Sydney proved his toughest challenge. The search for Sydney took him from the war archives in Germany to the Kormoran's most senior living officer in Santiago\, and then to Fremantle\, WA\, and out into the depths of the Indian Ocean. He would encounter conspiracy theories\, false clues\, wild weather and myriad mechanical problems\, but\, in 2008\, he would finally record in his personal log the astonishing words Australia waited decades to hear\, 'HMAS Sydney found!'\nBased on his new book\, 'Search for the Sydney'\, David tells for the first time how he found both vessels\, capping an epic 6-year journey. In riveting detail he recounts how he solved the mysteries which had baffled those who went before him\, and how he pieced together the story of what really happened on a fateful day over half a century ago.\nCourse Code: 094200 Tue 7-8.30pm Aug 25 $33 Bookings Essential - 6488 2433 or www.extension.uwa.edu.au\n\nSpeakers: David Mearns\, Shipwreck Hunder and Author LOCATION:Will be advised on booking confirmation URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090501T052827Z-1179-19540@events.uwa.edu.au/wh atson/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090615T022920Z-954-20854@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20090615T022920Z CREATED:20090615T022920Z DTSTART:20090826T173000 DTEND:20090826T190000 LAST-MODIFIED:20090615T045937Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:IHS seminar: Telling our story : An interdisciplinary investigation of methods\, roles and experience in integrating Indigenous experience into the Australian story.

Sustainable rehabilitation requires that soil be recreated from piles of waste so that new ecosystems are functionally stable. Real soil is full of life and to achieve this state may require as much chemistry as is involved in the process that produced the waste initially. Paradoxically\, organic amendments\, besides being more costly\, may be less environmentally sound than the use of synthetic chemicals to build soil fertility. \n\nProfessor Fey has authored or co-authored about 60 peer-reviewed scientific articles and has presented papers at international conferences in the UK\, France\, Poland\, New Zealand\, Mexico\, USA\, Canada\, Ireland\, Australia\, Tanzania\, Germany and Brazil. In 2000 he convened the 5th International Symposium on Environmental Geochemistry in Cape Town\, and formerly served as editor of the South African Journal of Plant and Soil and on the editorial board of Applied Geochemistry. He has worked closely with several South African agricultural\, industrial and mining companies\, has consulted on soil problems with maize production in the Congo\, has visited Kenya regularly to advise on soil problems in the tea industry and has investigated bauxite deposits in Guyana. \n\nAwards include the BP scholarship in Agriculture\, the Soil Science Society of South Africa medal for best conference paper (four times) and the Fertilizer Society of South Africa’s Silver Medal for Research (ca 1990) and Gold medal (2007) for teaching\, research and extension activities. \n\nProfessor Fey served on the South African Soil Classification Working Group and the National Research Foundation evaluation panel for Earth Sciences. His recent research activities have included dryland salinity and water quality in the Western Cape\, evaluating soils as protectors of groundwater quality\, using coal ash for liming acid soils and writing a technical book on the soils of South Africa. His current appointment includes some teaching but focuses on research into the rehabilitation and reuse of bauxite processing residues and other mining wastes.\n\nLight refreshments provided.
