Amelia Earhart: Beyond the Skies with Margie Arnold, Ph. D.
Most people know that Amelia Earhart was a pioneering pilot who disappeared somewhere over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 and to date has never been found. But did you know that she worked in Boston as a social worker? Did you know she fought for women’s rights and equality? Did you know she developed her own line of clothing and luggage? Amelia Earhart succeeded because she knew what she wanted and did not let anyone stand in the way of her dreams. Dr. Arnold spent 30 years in higher education as a faculty member and academic administrator. She has authored two textbooks, published 20 manuscripts, and has been a longtime advocate for the life and legacy of Amelia Earhart.

Why is the Earth Getting both Wetter and Drier? The Science of Climate Change with Stephen Young
Parts of planet Earth are getting wetter while other parts are getting drier. Many places, like New England, are experiencing extended dry periods and then suddenly a 1-in-1000-year flood. Come hear Professor Young as he explains the science of climate change and why it is driving both wetter and drier conditions. The lecture will also look at what is happening in New England and what the future holds. Dr. Stephen Young is a professor of remote sensing and environmental sustainability, and former chair of the Geography and Sustainability Department at Salem State University. Professor Young has published over 50 peer reviewed environmental science articles, books and book chapters and has also given many public talks about his work.
