In a year marking the 10th anniversary of TEDxSantaBarbara, the conference is looking to honor another significant marker in our community – the 50th anniversary of the modern environmental movement. Santa Barbara is the birthplace of world change, including the concept of Earth Day that began in 1970. In honor of this movement, we are making a focused effort to lift up current environmental issues and climate activism and provide more opportunities to meet with experts to start conversations that will lead to local action. In this episode of Behind the Scenes, TEDxSantaBarbara Executive Producer Mark Sylvester talks Dr. Andy Brooks of the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management and UC Natural Reserve System at UC Santa Barbara. They talk about the upcoming March TEDxSantaBarbaraSalon Sea Level Rising: The Local Socio-Economic Impacts and the April TEDxSantaBarbaraAdventure at the Carpinteria Salt March, part of the UC Natural Reserve System. Both events will have several world-class experts to answer questions and guide the conversations. The first two events are the result of a partnership with the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management and UC Natural Reserve System at UC Santa Barbara to bring relevant local research topics to the TEDxSantaBarbara community. The Bren School’s mission is to solve environmental problems and train the next generation of environmental leaders. Learn more at https://bren.ucsb.edu. UCSB’s seven Natural Reserves are living laboratories for scientific research, education, and public outreach. Learn more at https://nrs.ucsb.edu. The first two events are thematically paired to look at the issue of sea level rising from several points of view. Tickets for the Salon and Adventure are at https://TEDxSantaBarbara.com

UC Natural Reserve System lands are home to dozens of vulnerable animal and plant species. These range from some of the state's rarest amphibians to endemic plants to icons of the West such as bighorn sheep. Studies conducted at the 39 reserves of the NRS informs how these species are managed, which helps preserve the Golden State's extraordinary biological diversity. Scientists "can work in protected areas that allow them to follow the biology and the ecosystem dynamics of these rare and endangered species. We're really proud of that," says Peggy Fiedler, executive director of the NRS. Series: "UC Natural Reserve System" [Science] [Show ID: 33949]

Great weather, abundant harvests, fabulous food, some of the world’s most cosmopolitan, and romantic, cities – as well as the world’s most critical biodiversity hotspots -- make up what are known as Mediterranean-climate Ecosystems. With this program, UCTV and the UC Natural Reserve System inaugurate a six-part series that will be unveiled in spring 2013 on UCTV Prime. The introductory program offers an overview the world’s Mediterranean-climate zones, pointing out their similarities, unique characteristics and importance, while also illuminating the factors that threaten them. From geology to ocean and atmospheric forces, subsequent programs will explore the many factors that make these environments so unique and alluring.
