Distinguished Professor and Chancellor’s Professor, Dr. Roger Hangarter uses his stunning nature photographs to show how our own resilience is intertwined with biodiversity.
All of our basic needs – the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink – are reliant on basic biological functions that serve as the core of well-functioning, biodiverse, and resilient ecosystems. We as human animals are members of local and global ecosystems. After years of observing and documenting our regional biodiversity through the lens of his camera, Distinguished Professor and Chancellor’s Professor, Dr. Roger Hangarter has come to see biodiversity as resembling a living tapestry that is constant weaving and reweaving threads spun from a multiplicity of life forms interconnected through basic fundamental processes. In this four-part series of presentations, Hangarter will use his photographs and videos to show how our own resilience hinges on the same fundamental processes that sustain biodiversity and to hopefully inspire audience members to explore local natural areas where they can see and learn more about the remarkable biodiversity we live among in Indiana.
