QUiCK LooKs LaPier Named Smithsonian Research Associate Rosalyn LaPier, UM assistant professor of environmental studies, was appointed a research associate at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Research associates are senior experts in their field who maintain a formal scholarly affiliation and academic appointment with the Smithsonian. They are given access to Smithsonian collections and facilities. In exchange, LaPier will bring her own outside expertise and knowledge to the Smithsonian, which includes more than 25 years of experience working with Blackfeet elders researching ethobotany and traditional ecological knowledge. The appointment will last at least three years and may be renewed. LaPier has worked to revitalize and preserve Native American languages for the past 25 years. She continued her research on ethobotany, traditional ecological knowledge and Blackfeet religious beliefs of nature and the environment at the Smithsonian and within traditional Blackfeet territory in the U.S. and Canada. JoAllyn Archambault, National Museum of Natural History American Indian director, nominated LaPier for the appointment. LaPier holds a doctorate degree in history from UM. She is one of four Native American professors at a research university in the U.S. in an environmental studies/sciences department. She is an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Tribe and also is Métis. Google Assists with UM Research UM forest landscape ecology Associate Professor Solomon Dobrowski recently received a Google Earth Engine Research Award to estimate how changes in both land cover and climate affect ecosystems across the entire globe. The grant will allow Dobrowski and a UM doctoral candidate to use Google Earth Engine to analyze complex geospatial datasets. Last year, UM Professor Brady Allred received a similar research grant. The grants allow Allred and Dobrowski to access Google’s expansive database of global satellite imagery for research. Allred used the data to assess the impact and recovery of North American oil and gas development. Dobrowski will measure the rate of climate change and land cover change by analyzing land surface temperature data collected by Earth-observing satellites. It will allow him to identify regions where land surface conditions and climate are changing rapidly. He plans to create a monitoring framework and establish baseline measurements from which to assess ongoing changes in land surface temperatures across the globe. “By using Google’s technical and computing capabilities and partnering with their scientists, we can address earth science problems at scales larger than we could previously imagine given our existing resources,” Dobrowski says. V Science Exhibit Lands at Missoula Airport Visitors to Missoula International Airport have the chance to experience a new hands-on science exhibit. The exhibit titled “Nano: The Science of Small” is featured within a new pop-up museum space hosted by UM’s spectrUM Discovery Area. The pop- up museum opened its doors on the second floor of the airport and offers children of all ages the chance to explore the fascinating world of nanoscale science. “We are extremely excited about this partnership,” says airport Advertising Manager Amanda Jacobson. “Now, when families are waiting for their flight, they can engage with a top-notch exhibit. The partnership is a win-win.” “We hope that the next generation can get inspired about science and higher education, and we look for creative opportunities to introduce children to hands-on exploration,” says spectrUM Director Holly Truitt. The free exhibition features STEM role model Joanna Kreitinger, a UM doctoral student studying cellular and molecular biology, whose research focuses on how environmental pollutants affect our ability to fight off infections and disease. She regularly uses nanoscience in these efforts. Committed to inspiring a culture of learning and discovery for all, spectrUM is an interactive science center that annually serves more than 50,000 Montanans through in-museum and mobile programming.
