Sciences and the Sacred: Conversations on Maunakea
This seminar series will foreground discussions of contemporary issues surrounding Maunakea by providing our UH community with a common understanding of why Maunakea is sacred from multiple perspectives. Each seminar will pair a Hawaiian practitioner with a UH Mānoa faculty member to explore topics from various knowledge systems. Our intent is to create a safe space to dialog about complex issues.
Planned seminar topics include:
- Oct. 29: Geological and hydrological phenomena of Maunakea
- Nov. 21: Meteorological phenomena and island weather systems relevant to Maunakea
- January 2020: Biodiversity and climate/ecological zones on Maunakea
