    Verde Valley AZ (February 21, 2012) – Connie Woodhouse, associate professor in the School of Geography and Development at the University of Arizona, will present “Tree-Ring Reconstructions of Southwestern Climate: Lessons from the Past with Implications for the Future” when she speaks to the Citizens Water Advocacy Group (CWAG) on Saturday, Mar. 10 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Granite Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 882 Sunset in Prescott (two blocks behind True Value).

    Modern records of climate extend less than one hundred years into the past, and while this might seem like a long time, it is not long enough to assess the unusualness of droughts such as those of the 1950s and the recent drought. Tree rings can be used to extend records of drought, precipitation, and streamflow hundreds of years into the past, providing a more complete picture of hydrologic and climatic variability.

    Woodhouse will explain how tree rings are used to reconstruct past climate and discuss some of the streamflow and precipitation reconstructions that have been developed for watersheds in Arizona. She will show how the reconstructions document droughts (and wet periods) over past centuries, and she will compare 20th and 21st century events with those of the past. Lastly, she will discuss some of the ways the information about past hydrologic variability is being used to inform future water resource management.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
