Youtube daily report Dec 14 2017

We're back with the marvelous cast of Pitch Perfect 3,

and they none of them have serial killer traits at all.

None of them.

I heard you like to play Heads Up, right?

Yeah.

So we're going to play a special edition of sidekick

where we're going to have two teams

and we're going to start with Anna and Rebel,

you're going to get on those little red dots over there.

We'll wait right here on these dots.

OK.

You have to act it out, you can't talk.

You have to act it out, and I'm going to guess.

OK.

All right?

Cool.

Oh.

Amazing.

OK.

All right.

OK.

Oh my god.

You're sleigh all day.

So-- so you'll act it out wearing that sweater.

OK.

OK OK OK.

And you're guessing?

I'm guessing, yeah.

Can I put my arm around?

Uh, jumping jacks.

Yeah!

Yeah, yeah.

Got it started already.

Look on YouTube.

OK.

Oh.

Oh, I can't get on--

See that one?

Andy-- Andy just realized it's tied.

All right so that's great.

OK

Amazing.

Wrestle to the death.

[laughter]

All right.

Rarr!

Pitch Perfect 3 is in theaters December 22.

That was my idea, to put American Ninja Warrior thing up

in the parking lot.

Everyone got hurt.

And they wouldn't allow me to do it.

Hi, I'm Pink and I'm about to do the hottest

thing I've done all day.

That was my idea to put an American Ninja Warrior thing up

in the parking lot.

One of my favorite shows to watch this summer

was American Ninja Warrior.

I loved it so much I asked them to build it

right here in the parking lot.

Allison Janney and Anna Faris are here.

How do you think you're going to do?

How do you feel?

I think I'm going to do great.

I hope I can land somewhere in between Great and OK.

Everyone got hurt.

[music]

What happened to you?

I had tennis elbow for a year from that.

From that?

From pulling myself up that wall.

When I went up that wall, grabbed on, and my-- the whole

shoulder, elbow thing just--

That's nothing.

That's.

Derek.

I did it.

Derek one of our producers tore his Achilles heel,

and what happened to you, twitch?

Tore my meniscus.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Everybody got-- I mean like--

What were we thinking?

I know.

But it was a good idea.

I didn't think I could do that.

For a moment.

It really was.

Everyone did it before me to make sure it was safe,

and everyone got hurt.

And they wouldn't allow me to do it.

And it was my idea.

Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this montage of baby animals

doing adorable things.

If you weren't a performer what would you be doing?

I would either be living or working

at a mental institution.

I'm going to give a gift to my-- to myself right now.

I'm going to enjoy this montage of baby animals

doing adorable things.

[MUSIC PLAYING, JUSTIN BIEBER, "BABY"]

(SINGING) Thought you'd always be mine.

Baby, baby, baby all like, baby, baby, baby, no, like baby,

baby, baby, oh.

Thought you'd always be mine.

Mine.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now I'm all gone.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now I'm all gone.

Gone.

Gone.

Gone.

I'm gone.

Ahhhh!

[applause]

Why do baby goats have to jump like that with all four legs?

Makes me want one so bad.

Just all four.

OK.

[music playing]

Hi, I'm pink and I'm about to do the hottest

thing I've done all day.

And answer Ellen's burning questions.

The habit you will never break?

Telling anyone how I really feel about them.

Have you ever worn a disguise in public?

Yes I once spent two hours putting on a wig in New York,

and I walked outside in the very first man I saw

said nice wig, Pink.

And I went back upstairs and took that [bleep] off.

I was terribly embarrassed.

What Olympic sport do you think you would be best at?

Hot dog eating.

As long as they were veggie dogs.

If you weren't a performer, what would you be doing?

I would either be living or working

at a mental institution.

If you had a perfume, what would it be called.

Musk.

Or The Everything Bagel.

Your superhero power of choice would be?

To read people's minds.

'Cause they're wussies and they never

say what they're really thinking.

The funniest fail you've had on stage?

I once fell off stage into--

there was a moat around the stage.

And a man had lit up nipples.

And I saw it, and I got excited, and I walked towards him.

I went straight into the water.

You're guilty binge food?

Oh god.

Everything.

Crumb donuts, or anything with cheese.

Or carbs.

Like pasta.

Hungry.

Now, Ellen, I have a question for you.

What's your least favorite question to be asked?

And then I'll have a question for you next time.

Bye, I love you!

Documentary: 3-D Printed Drones - Duration: 13:37.

Technology advances in additive manufacturing and unmanned aerial

vehicles have merged paths as Army researchers explore a new concept.

American warfighters of the future may be able to custom build drones for

specific missions using an app store-like interface on a tablet or computer

that 3-D printers would go to work creating easy to assemble parts in less

than 24 hours. This was the concept thought up by aerospace engineers at the

U.S. Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, just a couple of

years ago. Now the idea has taken flight.

several years ago when we were collaborating with our academic partner Georgia Tech, we had this project where

we were focusing on design engineering of small unmanned aircraft systems. So in

this case it was quadcopters and also fixed-wing UAS or UAVs drones and what

we realized is that the task that we were working toward was a software tool

or a design on-demand capability and in order to validate what we were doing we

realized we need to do some prototyping. The team's efforts landed them with an

opportunity to showcase their concept to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine

Command at Fort Benning, Georgia. In December 2016, the team traveled to the

Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment or AEWE. They want to get technology or

upcoming technology into the hands of Soldiers...let these Soldiers try out the

technology and give you honest feedback. As researchers what it helps you do is

it helps you guide your your your research thinking to actually fulfilling

capability needs rather than just pursuing interesting ideas. What we

learned was that Soldiers saw a lot of benefit and merit in having a small 3-D

printed UAS at their disposal. So we came home from AEWE with the answers that we

were seeking. The potential benefits and merits of these

technologies. Tthe researchers felt the combination of 3-D printing and UAVs was

a natural technology solution. From the beginning it's been really important to

have a strong belief that this is the right way to do things because we're up

against a lot of opposition from the sort of status quo in how a small UAS or

unmanned aerial system is acquired and used and while it makes sense in the

context of a large vehicle to have a big drawn-out acquisition cycle where you

collect requirements and build a vehicle that meets as many of

those requirements as possible in our case it's necessary to totally rethink

that entire process and so it was extremely important for us to be

championing that idea from the beginning to really give it some legs and to prove

to people that this was the way to go Additive manufacturing or 3-D printing is

maturing as a viable way for creating mission essential items at the point of

need, providing Soldiers with a technology

solution; however, it is not without its challenges. As a researcher, I'd like to

improve the speed of the print or the strength of the printed part itself. Both

of which are kind of downfalls of additive manufacturing right now so

taking you know three or four hours to print a small part we do hope to reduce

that by at least half and have it be done and say an hour and then having

that part be more towards what an industry say an injection-molded part

would be they don't quite have that same strength as injection molding still so

being able to have it compete with an injection and molded part would be great.

Army research into 3-D printed drones took an unexpected turn in late 2016 as

Marine Corps Commandant General Robert Neller sought ways to increase UAVs

down to the squad level. We do do work for the Marine Corps whenever we can.

It's that that part of the research that allows us to be land force scientists

and engineers and to deliver solutions not only for Soldiers, but for Marines

wherever we can too. So we saw this as a way to merge what we were doing and to

what another services future vision was and so we embarked on this project so we

wrote a proposal it was accepted by the Marine Corps and what we were looking at

is we we were proposing that we could do on-demand design right so we could you

tell us the the type of mission that you want to perform and we'll create

software that actually designs that vehicle on demand and the Marine Corps

said slow down that's a great idea but first what we're looking for is a

catalog of drones. A software catalog would

provide the end-user with a way to choose aircraft capabilities tailored

for a specific mission. My role was to develop the small UAS catalog that

Soldiers and Marines would use to select the vehicle that they want to perform

their mission with so the idea was that we wanted to gather a large group of UAS

vehicles and put them all in one place and then have it in a catalog format for

instance like something like Amazon or something you'd find online. The Army

researchers traveled to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, to meet with Marines for

a build-a-thon. They wanted to see how long it would take Marines to assemble

the 3-D printed parts into an air-worthy drone. That's kind of a unique

perspective for them since typically they're just given things and told to

use them without actually being in the loop on the development of those items

so by kind of inserting the Marines into our development cycle we were able to

really get some more detailed feedback on what their needs were and now we can

take that feedback and really target it and make sure our vehicles are exactly

matched to what they want. I definitely didn't know that you had this capability

with the 3-D printing .I see it's got a great start to it

who knows here in five or ten years where it'll be at. In September 2017, the

researchers returned to Camp Lejeune to gather more feedback and let the Marines

fly some prototype 3-D printed drones. I think it's gonna help a lot with keeping

things on that cheaper scale as well as helping provide that watchdog for the

lower infantry guys going in as they're getting into a area that things may seem

heavy instead of really putting themselves on a higher risk you can

a drone that could be anywhere from I don't know $200 tp $1,000. That's

much cheaper than a Marine's life. One of the major advantages of additive

manufacturing is customization so being able to provide the warfighter with the

right tools at the right time many different warfighters have many

different jobs their tools are different and we might not be able to stock and

store all of those different types of tools so having an additive

manufacturing capability near the point of point of need or you're in field

operations would allow for Soldiers to be able to manufacture those tools

whenever they need them. I think we have come a long way but the the I would give

credit to the not only the team but but especially the feedback that we were

getting from these Soldiers and the Marine Corps and we were showing them

the technology we would ask questions about if you had this capability to design a small aerial system overnight basically

what kind of benefit would that provide you through an additive manufacturing focus and a small

UAS focus. Armed with valuable feedback, the research team hopes to streamline

the process into an integrated solution to provide warfighters -- both Soldiers

and Marines -- with easy options for delivering situational awareness

[COVER ME WHILE I MOVE]

It's very important to know there's a corner right there is there gonna be someone on

the other side instead of just sending in one of the guys to go and clear that

out or throw out that room just throwing something in there just you obviously

hear so many stories of Marines dying within a building because of an

insurgent with it. We have interacted with Marines that

have never touched an unmanned system before to Marines that are experts in

unmanned aerial flight and across the board they were all they all seemed to

be very interested in the topic of being able to manufacture a tool that they can

use that was mission specific and have a turn around so quickly. In fact they

expected to turn around to be days or weeks when in fact we showed them that

the turnaround time can be anywhere from minutes to hours I think the next stage

is going to be to try to increase the sophistication of not only the vehicles

but the underlying processes that are used to realize the vehicles so that

would include the 3-D printing. We have ideas to basically optimize the entire

structure of vehicle using something called topology optimization basically

that ends up giving you a design that looks very organic and biological in

nature sort of like a spider web or a complicated truss and by doing that you

get a very lightweight but still very stiff structure and so you can save more

weight then also we'll be working on improving the software side of things as

well. Based on you know the the rounds and rounds of feedback we've gone you

know to the warfighter to Soldiers to Marines back and forth getting feedback

incorporating the feedback into the catalog itself incorporating the

feedback into our design methodologies I think that we stand a pretty good chance

of capturing all the all the needs and requirements that the the warfighter has.

So the catalog that's used to select vehicles currently will be expanded

then we'll be able to actually customize vehicles instead of just select them and

then finally we'll try to increase the sophistication of just the vehicle

itself of how it functions. I think a lot of folks are interested in additive

manufacturing because we've seen on sci-fi shows throughout you know growing

up throughout our life just walking up to a user interface and saying

cheeseburger and there's my cheeseburger and I think that as additive

manufacturing continues to to grow and the technologies continue to evolve that

we're going to get to a point eventually where we will be making things in a

similar fashion where you will walk up to your user interface and say unmanned

aerial system and it will make it for you. So advantages include speed.

Another advantage is cost. There's definitely a cost benefit because the

systems that we're envisioning are modular. From a user that's wearing a

uniform that has to perform a mission they have to be able to trust the system

to do what it's intended to do and they have to put the focus on themselves and

their mission not on taking good care of that system because the system needs to be

durable. The system needs to be repairable. The system needs to be potentially

expendable. There's a lot of things that have to come together at once.

A robotics engineer could not just make a drone or make a machine that would

make a drone right you you also need to understand materials so you have

robotics and mechatronics you have manufacturing science and material

science and all of those things have to work together before you can figure out

how to to really create a three dimensional object in three-dimensional

space and manufacture that object. How we fit in -- how ARL fits in to the to the

industrial base the manufacturing industrial base in this area is that

it's our job to do the research in manufacturing science and material

science for the future of the Army. We will boost the manufacturing

industrial base because there are not a lot of research facilities like ours that

can spend the time or money to develop these new types types of technologies

what we do know is that the battlespace of the future is going to be evolving

and extremely complex. That's why we need to invest in numerous technology streams.

Things like additive manufacturing with materials, artificial intelligence and

machine learning, unmanned systems technologies, these will enable us to

bring together the capabilities that will allow the future Soldiers and

Marines the decisive edge that they need in the battlefield. The Army Research

Laboratory will continue to invest in these types of technologies to give our

Soldiers of the future the best possible outcome in any environment. In the future,

3-D printed aircraft, custom designed and manufactured at the point of need, will

meet warfighter expectations with lower noise, a longer standoff distance, heavier

payloads and better agility as Army researchers continue to discover,

innovate and transition technology solutions to deliver the decisive edge

on the battlefields of tomorrow.

QUESTIONS BRAZILIANS ASK ME AN AMERICAN! - Duration: 5:36.

Guys I need a better intro because like just saying, hey guys it's me JJ and then having

my tag.

That's not good enough I need something more but I can't keep thinking of random things

to say.

Hey guys, it's me JJ and I just thought of a random thing to fill in for my beginning

part for my tag.

For this video I am going to be... what am I going to be doing? questions that I get asked

a lot here in Brazil because when you're an exchange student you're always getting questions

asked and these are just the questions that are asked to me because I am an American.

For this video I'm going to do it in three parts.

First part is going to be the questions I get asked.

The second part is going to be how I wish I could answer them.

Not because like I think, oh this is the truth.

Just because I get asked these questions so many times and I would just love to shake

it up and make it a joke.

They don't have a hint of truth behind them or anything.

It's just like, I think it would be funny to say.

And then the third part is how I actually answer the questions.

And these are just some of them.

These are like the funny ones.

These are like the normal ones like it's boring if I made a video saying, oh how old are you.

So here are some of the questions that Brazilians ask me an American.

So you like eat McDonalds everyday right?

Dude did you know you look just like Obama.

So like everyone hates Latin people in the US right?

Everyone in the US is like racist aren't they.

So everyone is like fat in the US right?

So you like Trump?

So like your favorite food is hamburgers right?

So those are the questions, so here are how I wish I could just respond to it just to

be funny.

Not because I think it's true or anything but just to be funny.

No we don't eat McDonald's everyday, every other day.

Oh my gosh really?

He's my dad.

Does everyone hate latin people... no we all despise Latin people.

Is everyone racist in the US... unfortunately yeah pretty much.

Is everyone fat in the US... yeah pretty much, look at me!

Do I like Trump... who's that?

Oh my god, how did you know my favorite food was hamburgers?

You really know americans.

And then here's how I really answer them.

And these are the true 100 percent answers.

No we don't really eat McDonald's all that much.

I think it's kind of like, it's not something people are exactly proud of all the time.

I mean, we have McDonald's several times a month but not every single day.

I don't really know what to say to that.

No I definitely don't think everyone in the US despises Latin people.

I think it's more like the minority, if anything.

It would be lying if I said there weren't people in the US that were like that but definitely

in the minority.

Is everyone racist in the US?

A hundred percent no.

Again it's just like the minority.

I would lying if I said there wasn't racism in the US, but it's definitely not the majority

of people.

I wouldn't say everyone is fat in the US, but I would say there are more people that

are probably have more weight in the US than Brazil.

If you're comparing the two countries.

Um I shouldn't really be getting into politics because that's not really what we're meant

to be doing here, but...

Um hamburgers aren't really my favorite food.

My favorite food are the three P's: Pizza, Popcorn, and Peanut M&M's.

That's really it.

These are questions that I have been asked and a lot of them are questions that I have

been asked like multiple times.

But maybe in like different ways or different forms.

And for some of these questions, I think it's good for if an American sees this to know

kind of what our reputation is and how some, like I can't say some countries, but like

how kind of a latin country like Brazil kind of views us.

So I hope you guys enjoyed I really like making kind of skit things like this.

So I just really want to make something like this because sitting down talking just gets

boring and I want to be making more vlogs.

I don't like just sitting in a room talking.

I'd rather be out showing Brazil doing this kind of stuff.

So vlogs like these will definitely be on the way.

Again thank you to all the new people that have subscribed.

If you like this video please hit that like button and if you're not subscribed already

please subscribe.

I'm trying to hit my goal 10,000.

It's crazy because my goal before I left Brazil was a thousand.

Then it became 10,000 and now like who knows what it will be next.

I'm already, you know have like 7,000 some so I may be seeing that soon but it's all

up to you guys.

And yeah,.Please follow my instagram and I have a twitter if you wanna follow me there,

I'm not that active but why not.

And I think that's it.

Have a great day.

Peace out!

Tchau!

Hey guys is it me JJ?

Ha ha ha that was a question because that's all this video's going to be about.

Um, 200 percent answer what?

I'm gonna sneeze.

Bits & Pieces: The Making of "Clowns & Robbers" - Duration: 35:12.

Do we need me to bring back like hammer and nails kind of thing?

I just called Mitch. He's gonna bring a drill.

But he's probably not gonna get here until like seven.

Evan's in movie mode

Evan's given me the job of teasing the hair.

Our lead actor just arrived on first day of shooting.

I cut myself shaving

So that's why this is there otherwise

Things are good. My entourage will bring my things in shortly.

I gotta have time to prep. Getting my trailer set up right now.

Do you feel prepared for the shoot that I sprung on everybody at the last minute last night?

Yeah, that's the way I like it.

This is what we started working with

Bank with nothing in it that hasn't been touched from probably 1976

Who did that?

Evan and I both team effort.

That's fantastic!

Evan made these really great, shady signs.

So are we lighting this with LEDs or are we gonna go....?

Mostly use this existing lighting.

Kemer's reading his book of lines for tonight. Yeah pretty much. It's about Vietnam, so it's like

Same thing.

Catering

It's good catering. I like this catering.

Johnny's pizza.

I'm eating my catering mmm

Do you know what a geek is? No. Wait. Like a nerd? No. So a geek in Carnival culture was

basically the drunk, the drunkard

Tons of activity going on right now. Busy movie set here.

Six people.

Multi-million dollar production

Kemer, don't sweat too much.

Any ideas?

I dunno.

Y'all be careful.

We can get in these offices to get to the side of it.

Can you get up into the ceiling?

That would be easy.

You gotta be, you know, a robber.

Who's gonna climb through that?

Kemer! You're gonna get nasty.

It's nothing.

Is it solid up there?

No, it's over, I can see it.

Kemer! Get down!

That's our way.

That's our way

Oh my god. You're so stubborn. You're gonna get stuff in your eye.

There's a ladder?

Don't stab yourself with something.

I'm not.

Yep. Yep. Perfect.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait, you can't!

Just looking!

Okay. I was about to say you can't jump

12 feet or however high.

We're gonna lose our lead actor.

Just make sure you stand on beams and stuff and not...

Go up with this foot and get up on top. There ya go. Oh my god. Oh my god

Is anybody rolling film?

Step over that fucker you can probably sit on it. That's metal wrapped in insulation.

Well you probably want to be near the wall when you come down so you can use your arms and just hang down halfway.

Yeah, literally directly the other side of this duct to your left.

Well don't just like jump down, Kemer. Like lower yourself using your arms.

He's gonna break his neck.

He's gonna break something. And then, look, he's gonna break something and then we won't be able to get inside

the room to rescue him.

Oh god, now Mitch is going

Why do boys have to be boys?

Oh watch out! Oh careful! Careful!

Oh fuck!

Stand on that middle wall is your best bet.

Careful

Don't put too much weight on the duct.

The duct isn't going to hold you.

He's gonna ruin all his makeup that Lauren just worked on.

Oh yeah, it's not that bad.

Just don't jump on your stuff.

He did it

Let's see

Make-up's good.

Thanks, Mitch!

You're welcome, Kemer!

I'll clean this up.

That was crazy, Mitch like swung me from there to that ledge.

Oh, wow

So that was a first for me.

Climbing on top of a

Ceiling.

Especially with clown make-up on, as a lead actor...

with the other lead helping me drop.

And I think some people weren't...

You about killed your producer.

Yeah, I imagine I probably gave you a heart attack.

Yes. I was thinking that you were gonna fall and hurt yourself, and you'd be locked in this room...

and the paramedics couldn't get in.

That was awesome. Yeah, baby!

Is this unlocked now?

That's all movies are are problem solving, right?

It's just problem solving.

Problem solved.

My favorite thing about this movie is...

Eight pounds of novelty candy

All mine!

How do you feel about being a dad?

Ready for it to be a real thing.

But I'm also glad for each day that it hasn't happened yet.

This may be the last day. It might happen while we're here.

It's not impossible.

We think that we were a week off on our estimate was what they were thinking today.

So now she's actually like 39 weeks, not 40.

How you feeling Mitch?

Feel pretty good, Erica. How are you?

Good. Are you excited to make another Moviesauce movie?

I am.

Back in the saddle. Last one!

Last one? I'm retiring after this. Yeah. What? Brando. I'm gonna...

Go off to a foreign island. Oh yeah, you moving to the Caribbean. No, we're going down there to make movies.

Wait you're gonna quit before we become famous?

No well, this. What do you mean? This is the one that's gonna.

Yeah, you're about to come famous. Gonna change all your plans.

You know what I'll deal with that if it happens.

How do you feel?

Camera's bigger than it was last time.

Hey, Austin!

Hey

Now you can officially say you and Chris DeGueurce have shared a clown costume.

That's right.

A very intimate thing.

This is like a wedding day, like Evan's like tying up his....his son.

Clown on set, guys.

Sweet little father-son moment.

He's a good kid, this one right here. I love this one. This one right here is all mine.

I did this.

Don't.

Sorry.

Is that soda?

Just soda?

Yeah.

Just a soda.

What are you drinkin?

Nothin yet.

Ugh, that is a soda.

Ready, and action

And background go

Ok, great. Cut!

First shot!

Alright, Marvin, gonna cover you going towards the vault.

So easy!

Same thing as before

Camera's rolling

And action!

That was good.

And action

Jeez

Are you okay?

Alright, special effects rigging

This is why I don't like working with family

You're not gonna like this movie.

I'll tell ya right now. Gonna be plenty of embarrassing moments of your father.

Great.

You got a cool dad.

I get a lot of pleasure out of making your dad do humiliating things.

Back side.

Ok.

Yes.

Yes all the way over yeah

3, 2, 1....

That was it?

It'll look better in slow-mo.

Cut it!

Hi, day two on set

And we're about to start going do some rehearsals outside and blocking

This is where we're filming

They're about to demo the whole inside

I'm robbing the place too

How about we help each other out here

Do I need to say it or is this a separate shot?

Oh, great

She's like "money's in here, help yourself"

you're like "oh, great"

You're just kind of yelling and not even looking at him

"the chimney." ok, "the chimney."

When I say "Lenard" I should have made my way here, right?

Nope, you're still back there.

You're drunk Marvin.

I'm trying to avoid shooting this middle section.

We're gonna get locked out if we go out there.

"Is that a hummer? Are those still a thing?"

This will be like the three of y'all kind of converging on this point.

Y'all could be kind of looking y'all could take a peek to try to spot the guy.

"So you won't shoot?"

"What? No way. We don't have a gun."

So you don't have a gun

That's poster shit. That's your character poster. And then when you get over here, too, you know when I'm getting like the reverse of her face.

See how it's behaving? Yeah, you want to just stick it right there? Yeah, well I have to get this in.

And you're already sweaty.

Yeah.

Got it

Okay, so I look like hell

So Landon yeah

I want to do this as much with can tonight, do the thing where we run the cable to the camera too - okay

so I've got the

You've got a separate cable?

Yeah, I've got a long one in here somewhere.

This is hooked up through a HD-SDI output, and there's also an HDMI port.

storms coming

Sometimes I just like to look up at clouds and say "the storm's coming"

Action

Stumbling backwards

Right.

That little weird grid thing you're seeing. That's just this monitor. It's like a super bright monitor for daylight viewing.

When they get off the bike, they're like here.

Ok.

"I think you have to come back tomorrow, man. It's closed."

As soon as you go like this

It's gonna try to tip over this way

Oh, and there's your corner.

If you guys wanna try to kinda - you don't have to get on the bike. But you can kinda start - you'll kinda come out of focus right here.

And am I saying the "whoa, whoa" line?

Just to cover it if you want, but I'm not gonna use it in the shot.

Alright, action.

"No"

"calm down"

"I can't relax you're talking about robbing a bank, man."

"I get money?"

Cut! That was great. One more.

"Good, then shut up." You could almost open it right then.

Right.

And then he's like "look out, I see someone" and then you like close it back. "Where?" and run out.

Yeah, let's go for it.

It's important that you cue him right yet to set tell him to shut up in some way

so that he can fight back, "I'm supposed to be the lookout"

He's trying to tell you something and you keep shutting him up.

"Be quiet, then!"

"what?"

Shit, sorry. Not "what"

You had it except for the "what"

And, action

I don't think we need the reverse on that. I like the way that looked.

Yeah, I like the flashlight

Yeah, you can you shoot that the other way. I'll do it again, and you can do the whole...

I don't want the other way. I like that. I'm gonna do that in one.

Alright.

Well, for some reason it...

Just kill everything but channel one.

Mitch let me get you to come stand on that line. So I can frame this up. This is kind of a money shot here

Cause it's the shot where you go to get the money.

Just be kinda real. Yeah, creepy. Sneaky. Looking.

Thanks, pal.

Yeah, am I walking past camera-

"Just get your money and go. We don't have all night."

"Just get your money and go, okay? It's not like we have all night."

I like that - "Kay?"

"Just get your money and go okay? It's not like we got all night"

Let's go handheld through here

"So are you just gonna let us take it?"

Hello

Kemer, here.

Day one of clowns and robbers, I guess.

Day three.

Three. That's right, I forgot. We shot a whole bank scene already.

Uh, we're in Texas.

Heading to....what's it called? Wharton, Texas. Yeah.

But we gotta shoot stuff in the car on the way.

Which will be interesting I've never tried to do this before.

So we'll see what we get.

I put in a 12 piece weave

While driving 80 miles per hour on the interstate. I wasn't driving

Evan was driving, but that's still pretty good.

I've got two matches so far, three. No....no.

Damn. Wait, no. Alright, I won $20.

No, you didn't. Yeah, I did. Go get your $20.

I think. Look. Ooooh.

So I won $5. Hey, that's still good. How much did you spend? Five dollars.

Two. Wait, three.

This is taking too long. I don't understand.

Roll down this back window. I've gotta run the cable into it.

Hey hey

Moviesauce crew on the road deep in the heart of Texas

working our way south

filming the epic

clowns and robbers

Got a director here somewhere

ladies gentlemen, Kemerton Hargrove

sort of.

On the road.

How you feeling buddy?

I'm feeling alright. About to shoot some things.

With a camera, not a weapon.

No guns.

Yeah, just gonna figure out how to do it all in the car

And where are we?

We are in the lovely

state of Texas in the beautiful town of

Tacos

What ya got there?

Cream of chicken, man

Don't you think you need to stir it up?

No, I think, honestly, I can just puke on my own after I have any of this.

It's hot.

Hot cream of anything soup

I just went horizontal.

So this is my vomit.

It's nice and canned for me.

Ready to drink and

Other than the fact that it's like 100 degrees outside. Just don't spill it in the car.

I'll try not to.

All right, we've just arrived at the Tee Pee motel.

What would? The couch may be good for counting the money.

No, I like the other one. Yeah, that's good for somebody. Somebody can crash.

And this is probably gonna be Kemer's room?

This is a single? I'm the first victim if someone pulled up in here. Wait, they're all queen, huh?

I think we should film in the first one.

Yeah, I think so too this one. Yeah, this one's got these funky chairs.

The A/C's working nice.

It's not so bad!

It's not as grungy as I thought it would be.

Fresh paint.

Just got to the Tee Pee motel at

About 10 o'clock at night after a long day of driving

Very round

Cash bag. Here's our doorman.

With our dough.

Don't look at my money.

Does somebody have some weed?

Huh?

No?

No. We're drug free.

Searching for the double-sided money.

Double-sided heavy duty cash.

Oh no, what happened to our lamp?

I just unplugged it.

Rehearsing. Rehearsing. In the hummie. Yep. About to go film at the dinosaur park.

Yes, that is a actual place.

Mitch Landry talking to himself

We found this guy on the side of the road. Seems like he might need some help.

You ready for another day? A three hour day?

I think so. Yeah, three hours is not bad.

I mean the

The downside of being short though, is that we have to get it

And it's a lot of pages.

Is it? How many pages is it? It's like ten, I think.

Is it really ten? It's a big scene.

It's just weird. The spread out shooting, it's hard to get back in it.

Yeah, it is. It's like "oh, we're making a movie still...tonight."

It feels like a really long time like what was it? June? July? What month are we in?

It's August.

It's crazy we're almost like, well it's August 7th.

It's like this shoot was just kinda like, "we gotta shoot Sunday." Before you know it, it's Sunday.

It's like if you don't then you like you'll blink and you haven't gotten it done.

Summer's almost over already.

It is, yeah.

We're shooting the pick-ups on the boat on Saturday and that's gonna be like half way through August already.

Yeah, we need to get wrapped before school starts for me. Before September.

I think you and Mitch will probably be wrapped by the end of August.

Kemer's gonna have more stuff throughout September.

How do you feel about it?

Tired.

Then all you have to do is edit it.

Evan drinks like six coffees a day. Yeah. I've been drinking the double shots.

I think that's the only way I got through the Nick Cave thing done last week is I starting drinking those Starbucks double-shots.

Yeah. I was like an editing machine.

Finished that movie.

It's like aderol for him.

I mean that's like...so many hours.

Well I keep reminding myself. It's like, you know, I think of this as my third feature.

But technically, I just finished by third feature, which was that. And this is our fourth.

That's true.

Okay.

This already looks amazing.

OH MY GOD

A Han Solo!

Airbrush t-shirt

This is amazing. Thank you so much. You're welcome. I almost want you to wear it in the movie. That's your payment for the movie

That's more than I could ask for.

Thank you so much.

"Birthday clown? That is probably the sexiest, the" Nope.

"Birthday clown"

That should be like an immediate, "ah, okay, that makes sense!"

"Ah, that makes sense."

"Birthday clowns gotta be the unsexiest thing a man could do"

We're gonna get some like Tom Cruise cocktail shots.

What do you think, Kemer? Fantastic.

Wearing sunglasses. At night. In a bar. Can't be good news.

It looks legit though. Like I would see this guy in a bar

That's what I'm going for. Low key.

And one day when your dad's a famous actor for moviesauce they'd be like "oh that was his son in the bar in that movie"

That light is really bright. I sure hope he turns that down.

Mitch Landry, famous bartender. You wouldn't even know. Don't get me started.

Look how Mitch just turned water into whiskey!

Or how does a Leonard drink whiskey?

How are we doing, Evan? It's 8:35. Okay.

"If the guys could see me now" yeah.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Fuck.

What's going on right now Mitch?

Getting ready for the big sand dune shot. Desert dream sequence. We are in Colorado.

The sand dunes of Colorado.

One of the best days yet.

"You're standing in the middle of the desert, dressed like a clown. I think you're dreamin, bud"

Evan, help him.

Just untie that, Kemer!

All right, is that a wrap for us? Mitch too? Yep. All right, Mitch!

But if you want to get this thing off of me. Yeah.

I do want to get a shot of you with your shirt off in the desert.

Hang on. Let me take a photo

We've been dropping the ball on behind-the-scenes footage so here's some.

We're just doing everything we can to get through this.

Yeah, basically.

That's gonna record us. And we're gonna be...

Like it saves what's happening now in time forever to replay.

Here's the shot for reference, so Kemer don't cross it a little bit too much.

I mean I might get a little bit of out of focus head movement or something, but that's ok.

But don't like, do a big hand motion in front or anything.

Gotcha.

Whatcha doing there, Kemer?

Whatcha doing, buddy?

What? How you doing?

Good. Whatcha up to?

Just hanging out. Just waiting to roll, so...you know.

Just killing some time.

What's that smell? You smell that?

Asparagus.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I think they're about ready. Yep. Step up. I'm all set. Back to one. Back to. Back to one.

And you know, the thing about being out here is uh, you just gotta embrace the elements.

We're gonna end up parking on the other side over there.

I think what we'll do is we'll take off from here

Go to the second turn around make a u-turn, and we'll start rolling once we U.

Mitch will be driving this car.

He's gonna pull off somewhere right in here.

Smaller guy smaller guy would shoot me bigger guy might hit me. I'd say small guy shoots.

All right, I'm not gonna take a still with Kemer with his shirt off.

He had his pants of earlier too.

Can I have, um, I just need like one minute to clean this brush, cause I'm sloppy.

I wish I knew how to use Christopher's...does anyone know how to use a Bluetooth?

So Chris how does it feel to be going clown again?

I knew it was only a matter of time really, you know

Just like that it's combining

I feel like you're playing the long game like you've been slowly training us for just this movie

There's a master plan 20 years down the road that I'm working towards

Yeah, yeah. I want to know how this fits into like the grander scheme of things.

It's a clown opus.

Waiting for you to run for political office one day so I can bring all this back up

Oh God

Moviemaking 101 you're just gonna wait wait and wait and wait

Yeah, that's what it's about. We're fast too - most movie movies take a lot longer to make

Nah I just go walk around it. I didn't know if the sound is like - It's not critical.

It's really the passing of the clown baton though for me.

Movie starts with Chris passing off to Kemer. That's Right.

And I carry it very well.

Well, let's get a little group hug picture then.

We're just pretending. It's a movie.

So this is the last time I have to deal with this makeup

And remove it. Which is actually probably the hardest part

So I'm gonna enjoy this

Taking it all in.

I would say it's kind of sad, but I don't feel that

You'll never be a clown again until we have to do reshoots

Or you know

unless things just get dicey, and I need the money

Or if you know the movie does really well, and we have to get a sequel in there.

Let's just have a movie where I'm a normal person. I have a boring...no, we already did that.

Can I just be like a doctor? Can I be something cool?

Are doctors cool?

Feel like a Air Force pilot. Yeah jet pilot. Astronaut. No, we did that.

We did a movie where you're kind of a normal guy and kind of an astronaut.

What do you want to be next, Kemer?

A ninja.

Was gonna say a Karate instructor, but I realized how uncool that sounds.

You don't want to sign up to spend months learning martial arts.

I'd like to just play a really wealthy person. I'd actually like to play an asshole. I haven't played a full asshole

We'll get you a box

Oh my gosh. This is hilarious.

What are we going to film?

My big scene.

This is as much hair as I've ever grown on my face. It's pretty gross.

There's me.

You can kinda go closer to the road.

This shot I need you to come back out on the road you're gonna be...

Well, shoot. I might see you, I guess.

You might have to do this shot.

I'm rollin

I'm a goddamn filmmaker. Making a goddamn movie out here in the great state of Texas.

So weird how easily you can look like you from here just with the goatee and a hat, and a pickup truck

It is weird how you can't like get into it until you're like there on the set.

Yeah rehearsing is only so much

Kemer, I need you to come stand in

"Anywhere in that general direction, really"

"Do you think you could give me a ride?"

"Uh, I would but it was my friend's"

"Are you some kind of a fucking dumbass?"

Got this crazy storm coming.

You have to watch out for rattlesnakes here.

Whew! Lightning! Big lightning. Yeah. Oh, that's not good

We'll go get the magic hour stuff if this clears.

Now what?

Now we wait a little bit.

Yeah, the light's beautiful right now.

Some of the best lit stuff we've gotten in the whole movie.

Just like twister

Checking radar? Yeah.

Yeah, it's coming.

It's about to hit us.

Well should we like go take shelter?

Well if worst comes to worst like and it's too dark could we wake up for magic hour in the morning and cheat it?

We could.

A Thousand Years of Landscape Change in the Bandelier Wilderness (Craig Allen) - Duration: 1:21:49.

Karen: Today, Craig Allen is going to continue to examine some of these climate change and

fire related issues. He's going to talk to us about a research program that he's been

carrying out at and around Bandelier Wilderness. He's been elusive about the details of his

talk. His title, �1,000 Years of Landscape Change in the Bandelier Wilderness� will

have to suffice.

I can, however, tell you a bit more about his background and credentials. Craig Allen

is a research ecologist with the US Geological Survey. He is station leader at the Jemez

Mountain field station based at Bandelier National Monument. He's worked in the Jemez

Mountains since 1986. He's one of the principal investigators of the USGS Western Mountain

Initiative, an integration of research programs that study global change and mountain ecosystems

of the western US.

As I mentioned last week, I attended a lecture that Craig gave a couple of years ago, in

which he talked about the ways in which land use practices had contributed to soil erosion

in Bandelier. His experiments to devise simple ways to stop erosion and stabilize the soil

had much in it for archeologists. It was an excellent presentation and I anticipate that

his talk today will be just as good. Thanks for being with us today, Craig. Thanks very

much for your patience while I got organized.

Craig: No worries. Thank you for the invitation. Elusive, is that how you would define it?

By the way, if people have questions along the way, feel free to unmute your phone, I

guess, and ask. I have a fair number of slides and I'll move through them otherwise, quickly

enough. Sometimes it's better to stop when it's up on the screen and the thought is fresh.

I don't mind that.

We'll talk about landscape change in this particular landscape of Bandelier. Oops, that's

not what I want. What I want is ... You may have to bear with me about navigating this

thing first until I get it working. The title slide, just adding ... It's a lot of people

have contributed to ideas and some of the work that's presented here.

Just the map, the Jemez Mountains. Bandelier National Monument is an old Park Service unit

from 1916 established to protect cultural resources. It's located in the southeast flank

to the Jemez Mountains. That's where the red arrow is pointing to there. Sort of at the

south end of the Rockies, the margins of the Colorado Plateau and Desert Basin Range.

Zooming in on the Jemez, you can see it's a big volcanic landmass with a central Caldera

that's about 15 miles across, which is called the Valles Caldera. Bandelier's outlined in

the yellow. By the way, it seems likely within hours to days, there will be a new Park Service

unit. There's a 90,000 acre National Preserve called Valles Caldera National Preserve, which

encompasses that ... Let's see if I can make this little pointer work.

This is the caldera. There's the unit. It touches Bandelier in the northwest corner.

It looks like it's part of the defense appropriation bill, it looks like it will probably pass.

There's been an effort to make a Park Service unit there since the late 1800s. Anyway, it's

a little bit exciting here in this landscape.

The landscape involved here ranges from elevations up to 11,000 feet here along the rim of the

caldera, down to just a little over 5,000 feet where this is the Rio Grande crossing

across, from north to south. Bandelier has that whole elevational transect. We're going

to focus on these lower elevation mesa tops, which are dominated by pi�on and juniper

trees, a woodland system. Let me get back to the clicker.

Zooming into a vegetation map of the park, the main part of Bandelier. It's these orange

mesa tops that are this woodland vegetation. This is the primary settlement zone, and agricultural

zone, for Ancestral Puebloan people, which are what the cultural resources at Bandelier

primarily was established for.

This is what that area looks like from an airplane, over the Rio Grande, at the bottom

of the field of view, looking back to the west over the mesas. I took this about 20

something years ago. We're going to focus, in particular, this is a block diagram showing

that elevation gradient and vegetation gradient. We're going to focus on a one- hectare watershed

for part of this, called the Frijolito Watershed, which is at the upper boundary of that woodland

type, where it interfaces the bottom edge of the ponderosa pine forest type, which is

a much taller pine.

This is zooming into that. Actually, I'll just back up and say just a small bit more.

I've been working here continuously since the fall of '86. I actually did my Master's

thesis research here earlier than that. Coming here will be the 34th year in a row that I've

been doing field work here in the Jemez, in and around Bandelier. It's been really a great

privilege to be able to be in a place so long. I'm one of the 100 or so ex-Park Service scientists

that in 1993, the biological ecological scientists and the Park Service were transferred over

to a short-lived agency called the National Biological Survey. By '95, we ended up in

USGS as part of ... Which is why there are a large number of biologists and ecologists

in the USGS. Then working here, based here at the park this whole time, co-located with

land managers in this particular way of trying to support conducting research but doing it

in a way to try to be supportive of land managers, not just Park Service land managers, but more

broadly in the area.

In the '80s, I did both my Master�s and PhD studying various aspects of landscape

change. Many of the studies I'm reporting on here really evolved organically, I guess,

out of that work from the beginning. From the beginning, my perspective, my training

was as a geographer early on, then as an ecologist. I've always viewed humans and nature, these

have always been interactive where we're linked increasingly so, especially with the theme

of your talks this fall and the Anthropocene. It's pretty clear human influence is ... Natural

doesn't mean much without people on this planet anymore. As ecologists, it's been painful

for ecologists to get to that point in the last 30 years, but they're pretty much there,

I think.

Anyway, here is this watershed. The ridge line is here. That's the top of the watershed.

This is 2 and a half acres, Frijolito Watershed, so called because there's 100 room archeological

site, Classic Pueblo Period, from the 1400s to the mid-1500s, here just above it. In '93,

we began quite a bit of work trying to understand run off and erosion processes here, which

we'll talk about a little bit.

Erosion is a big issue at Bandelier, identified concurrently - well it's actually historically

- was identified from the '30s on in various little documents you could see in the park.

In the '70s, feral burros were considered to be the cause. The Park Service, after the

first natural resource research done, was looked trying to understand what was causing

the erosion and basically implicating the burros to justify in the end, shooting them.

In the '80s, when I started working here, it was clear there was an immense amount of

erosion in these woodlands, these so-called PJ woodlands - pi�on- juniper woodlands.

At the same time there was a very large archeological survey effort going, underway, led by Bob

Powers with many Park Service archeologists involved, that was a decade in length. They,

similarly, were observing the impact of erosion on culture resources.

From that point forward, there was this linked thread from both the cultural and the natural

resource perspective at Bandelier about we need to better understand what's going on

with history of erosion, the magnitude of it.

You could see that huge areas were basically desertified. This shouldn't be a desert. These

are places with 14 to 16 inches of precip[itation] annually on average, highly variable through

time, but huge areas that looked like this in the heart of the wilderness. By the way,

Bandelier is about 33,000 acres. The majority of it, 2/3 of it, or so, is congressionally

designated wilderness. Essentially, all of this pi�on juniper woodland landscape is

in the designated wilderness.

The soils are old. They primarily formed during the last Ice Age during completely different

vegetation types on these mesas. Again, this is a showcase arch[eology]site [inaudible

00:16:13] down near the visitor's center in Frijoles Canyon. It's actually rather atypical

of the archeological sites in Bandelier. Most of them are on the upland mesa top surfaces.

The perennial stream in the background was the big attraction here.

Of course, you folks all know this, but it's important to recognize these people didn't

go away. The descendants of the people who lived in Bandelier are, for sure, in direct

linage with the folks from what we call San Ildefonso Pueblo and Cochiti Pueblo. Bandelier

was on the straddles, the historic boundary between these 2 groups, who actually represent

different language groups. The ethnographic history, their oral histories, and the archeological

record are consistent. Basically, for those of you that have been here, the Frijoles Canyon

was essentially the dividing line between the Keres speaking people to the south - Cochiti

Pueblo. The Tewa folks to the north - San Ildefonso. This is modern Taos Pueblo.

Little bit of Bandelier actually has about 3,000 ... Actually it is literally right at

3,000 archeological sites that have been surveyed to date. Pretty much everything except some

of the really steep terrain has been inventoried by this point. It has site densities that

essentially equal those of any Park Service unit, including places like Chaco and Mesa

Verde. This is the woodland zone, roughly, circled in green. This is an outline unit

of the park, that's actually spatially in the correct location. You see the high density

of sites. This is where people were living and working and farming for many centuries.

When the archeological survey was starting, the big survey, there in the '80s, after their

first field season, we had a sit down meeting. They were asking if there was anything else

that was worth collecting at the sites, in terms of site data. We shared notes about

the magnitude of erosion, so they started to collect erosion data. The map you see on

the left is from the last few years of the survey of the sites where they did collect

erosion impact data. The red sites are the sites that were being affected by erosion

of one sort or another. The green ones were the ones that were not. The main point here

is that just the vast majority, well over 90% of the arch[eology]sites, particularly

down in the woodland, were being damaged in one way or another by erosion processes, primarily

sheet erosion, significant levels of sheet erosion. There's some pedestal building stones

there.

In the Frijolito Watershed we had all kinds of sediment traps. We literally just this

year so ... For 20 years we were running this runoff and erosion work. In this field, in

the photo here, you can see this is a 1 cubic meter. It's just a wooden half box sunk into

the ground that captures the run off and the sediment. When we installed that for, I think

for four years, we sieved the sediment coming out of this and similar sediment traps. Up

here in the top are some of the over 1,000 artifacts that one rain storm event, this

June 29, '95 event, put more than 1,000 artifacts into this sediment trap from 1 thunderstorm,

draining a tenth of a hectare. This is a big part of what the archeological, or cultural

resource issue with erosion was, is that it was literally smearing the archeological record

across the landscape in a really profound way.

One question is, is we could see that this was how the landscape was behaving. We were

measuring the rates of soil erosion at that point in time. Maybe they've always been like

that. Was there something new? Was there something that Park Service management needed to be

concerned with?

A couple different ways to approach that. I've done an immense amount of work with dendrochronologists,

mostly folks from the Tree Ring Lab. In this case, this is Peter Brown, who has his own

little tree ring lab out of Fort Collins, Colorado. In that watershed ... You can, of

course, precisely date to the year. We dated every live and dead tree in that watershed.

The junipers are not precisely datable. Those we actually had to estimate by size, age regression.

The tree ring dating pattern, their cross dating doesn't work on that particular species,

the dominant there. What we see here are the timelines of the logs, the dead logs that

Peter Brown and I, we sampled basically every scrap of dead wood in that 2 and a half acre

piece of hill slope. These are the timelines. This is calendar years here on the left, back

to 1600.

The bark date is designated by a little vertical bar at the end of the line of the timeline

for that tree. These would be the inner dates. These would be the last dates. 2 different

species, the small pine, pi�on pine, pinus edulis, the large pine ponderosa pine. This

little grey shaded zone is the 1950s drought. You see this big mortality pulse. Most of

that dead wood we were looking at at that time, was from the 1950s drought event, which

is the last severe drought before the current drought we've been in. We've been in droughts

since the late '90s here in this region, driven presumably, it's thought at this point, these

decadal scale droughts are driven by decadal scale sloshing of the Pacific Ocean.

There's a phenomenon called the Pacific decadal oscillation that basically drives the frequency

of El Nino versus La Nina events. El Nino episodes, when the eastern Pacific is warm

brings wet weather to us, well, wet winters. The jet stream comes farther south in el Nino

conditions and the winter storm tracks cross over us. During la Nina conditions, the jet

is farther north and the winter storm tracks miss us. We can have almost no precip[itation]

in some winters.

The '50s - we can see with tree ring reconstructions going back for 2,000 years - that on the order

of a 30 year oscillation, we oscillate in and out of these dry and wet periods. About

twice a century these happen. The '50s was the last severe drought episode and at this

locality, it killed essentially all the ponderosa pine on that site that had been alive. More

on that in a minute.

Because we dated ... Those were just the dead wood on the landscape. We also cored all the

live pi�on trees. There were just literally just 3 live ponderosas available in and adjoining

that watershed. We're able to actually show you in map form what this landscape looked

like through time back to 1600 when the earliest trees started. I'm going to go through a series

of these maps that look like this. The different symbols represent different tree species.

ponderosa pine is green. pi�on is the orange. juniper is the green triangles. When they

die, they change to a different color. When they die, we have also mapped where the logs

are on the landscape laying on the ground precisely. Those ponderosas, they'll be mapped

as green and pi�on is orange.

We don't know when the log hit the ground in the past. We're showing what the map position

of it is today. The important point here is, you see in 1600, there are essentially no

trees on this landscape. We believe, actually, in the big archeological site of Frijolito,

which was occupied until the mid-1500s, a 100 room pueblo was sitting right here, just

adjoining this. They left for reasons of their own. It wasn't related to Hispanic settlements

of the area. They were already off these mesas at that point. They had abandoned this part

of the world just before this. We actually believe that we have the demography, the demographic

history of tree recolonization of this site after it had essentially been deforested.

One of the leading hypotheses about why the Puebloan people left these mesa tops was that

after 300 years of intensive occupation, they had deforested it.

Anyway, we have some evidence of that. These trees can live quite a bit longer than 400

years. Mesa Verde, you find, or you did until all the recent fires, 600 or even 800 year

old pi�ons and the Utah juniper there is date-able. You can date back that look like

they colonized after the Puebloans left circa 1280. We don't have anything anywhere near

that old in our woodlands. We believe that part of that is because the occupation and

the subsequent abandonment was several hundred years later in this landscape.

We're toggling through. This is now 1650. What you're seeing is ponderosa pine establishing

at this point. We're in the Little Ice Age. These conditions were favorable for ponderosa

pine, probably to push a little bit farther down slope then is comfortable for them today.

You see down there's a little rocky area at the bottom and a little spot up here. These

are rocky spots on the landscape that had pi�on and juniper establishment. Those are

the first places.

The heart of this watershed was actually ponderosa pine forest. Here's 1750. 1800. You see this

pattern in the whole middle, mostly the whole upper part is ponderosa pine. Then 1850, probably

the junipers ... Again we can't precisely date them. I think we're giving them a few

too many years because I think they should have tracked with the pi�on. Now watch what

happens. At this point is when the surface fire patterns, you heard from Chris Roos last

week, stopped. The pi�on and the juniper are very sensitive to fire. During the surface

fire period, they were growing in these rocky places that were not supporting the surface

fire, but in the middle of that watershed, no.

By 1900, they're starting to show up all over. By 1940, you see that there are pi�ons and

junipers established widely through the whole watershed. There are still some live ponderosa

pine. By 1960, at the end of the 1950s drought though, every ponderosa pine in that watershed

had died. They are present only as logs. This system that, for a couple of centuries was

ponderosa pine dominated had become dominated subsequently by pi�on and juniper, who are

now the dominants by 1960s.

Jumping ahead another 40 years to 2001, which is picked for a particular reason, you see

that the density of ... I'll just toggle back and forth between 1960 and 2001, just continued

to go up. There was a wet period from the late '70s through '95. Subsequent to that

we started to go into drought. 2002 was the worst year for tree growth in the last 1,000

years in the Southwest, definitively, by a region-wide tree growth assessment that's

been done. In 2002 and 2003, all these pi�on that used to be alive, basically every mature

pi�on died. Again, just to toggle back. That actually, if I mapped it in 2003 it would

have looked the same in terms of that. They died literally within a 6 month window, a

big transformation in the landscape.

Today, the landscape looks like this. Yet, we know that for a couple centuries much of

that water should actually look something like this, an open stand of ponderosa pine

with enough grass coverage to support surface fires, because there were fire scars in that

record on many of the trees.

Again, people had a huge role in this history because it seems that the woody plants had

to start from ground zero there in the late 1500s. What do we know about the density about

human occupation of the landscape? To push this back a little farther. Regional scale

patterns of population density in the Southwest. By the way, we're here. This is the Jemez.

Bandelier sits right about there in this spot. In the north. This was just after the evacuation

of the Four Corners by the farming peoples. Bandelier's there.

Zeroing into the, we'll now go to the archeological survey data for this part of the world, and

all of this has been surveyed. Here is that one hectare watershed of Frijolito that we

call the Frijolito watershed. We're going to look at the archeological evidence through

time around that. Here is 2,000 years ago. A little bit of Archaic lithic scatter stuff.

Here is 1200. AD 1200, before the influx of immigrants from the Four Corners. Again, you

see the different sizes of the symbols represent the size classes of the different types of

features. By 1350, originally, the people who lived in these scattered, smaller room

blocks structures, probably family, extended families. Then the aggregation occurred through

the 1400s and into the 1500s. These red squares are communal pueblos of one to several hundred

rooms. Here is Frijolito the pueblo that� which we named the watershed after.

You can see, though, that this landscape's had a lot of people in it for several hundred

years. Estimates of how much of that landscape on the uplands they would have had to utilize

for farming to support the populations that were estimated. What is now the Bandelier

wilderness is estimated to have had between 1500 and 3500 people living in it, essentially

continuously from the late 1200s through the mid-1500s. On the order of 300 years, there

were 1 to several hundred thousand people living in the untrammeled pristine Bandelier

wilderness.

I think we can skip that. That's just a little detail. Here's pi�on. This is, if you look

at the decade in which the trees established, you see there's this tidal wave of pi�on

establishment after the surface fires stopped in this time period. I forgot to show you

the fire scars when I showed the timelines of the individual old woody trees.

The point of this is simply, this is from Henry Gracino Meyer�s dissertation work

at El Malpais National Monument where they have a longer than 2,000 year tree ring chronology

from four different species, actually. It's probably still the single best precip[itation]

climate reconstruction in the region. When you see on all time scales is that drought

is a natural feature of this landscape. The precipitation is variable on all time scales,

essentially, is the only point I would make here.

You see the '50s drought. The '50s drought is shown here. The current drought, because

Henry's work stopped right when the current drought kicked in. We are now in a drought

that's similar in magnitude to what happened in 1950s. These are some of the trees that

have died recently. Actually, these are remnant ponderosa pine from the '50s drought on the

ground. These are pi�on that died in '02, '03. These are, similarly, ponderosa pine

that died in '03 as well up on that mesa top surface.

Basically the bottom margin of the ponderosa pine zone has been dying back through these

drought episodes in the 20th century. This is from a paper that actually with a colleague

we published in '98, in, actually, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences because

what was the big story? It was about a rapid ups slope shift of the boundary of the ponderosa

pine zone. The bottom edge of the ponderosa pine zone retreated up slope by a mile and

a half in less than 5 years during the '50s drought. Basically, the bottom fringe of the

ponderosa pine died back.

During the current ongoing drought, ponderosa pine, the bottom portion of that distribution,

has continued to retreat up slope. It's another whole topic. Most of my work in recent, in

the last 15 years, really has been climate change related, supported by a USGS climate

change set of projects. That's projected to continue. This was interesting because this

remains till today the largest rapid shift of an ecotone, of a vegetation boundary that's

been documented in the literature.

Here's 2002. Here's the drought- instrumental observations of drought- in the US. You can

see centered on the Four Corners and Bandelier is there. This is what it did to those trees.

I showed it to you in this obtuse ... Maybe I should have started it this way. I'm showing

how the pi�ons died. This is how it looked likes when you're standing there in 2002,

2003. Here's fall 2002. This is part of Bandelier. All of the orange canopies you see are ... These

trees are already dead. These are the pi�ons, the small pine trees.

The next slide is 18 months later after the needles have dropped. You see the grey skeletons

of the pi�on. The trees that are still green are the junipers that survived on this site,

that drought. Again, just to toggle that. This is pretty extraordinary big, fast change

in a system. For reasons that again I won't talk about much here, because I'm focusing

on this older history for this talk and the erosion and what we did about it. Well�suffice

it to say that the Jemez in general, and the Bandelier in particular have been ... We have

been on the leading edge of seeing how big, fast changes can occur on landscapes with

climate change-type drought. This has become a bit of a poster child landscape for research

by a number of folks about how these landscapes, they get these nonlinear tipping points that

can really drive big, fast ecological and hydrological change.

We're hearing somebody in the background. I don't know if that ... Here is actually

the fire scar chronology from the Frijolito Watershed.

Karen: Craig, just a minute. Excuse me. If you're talking and carrying on another conversation

could you please mute your phone. Thank you. Go ahead, Craig.

Craig: This is a fire scar. You probably saw a bunch of these from Chris Roos last week.

Again, timelines of individual tree samples calendar years on the bottom. Each vertical

tick mark, in this case, represents a fire scar recorded in the tree rings. You'll see

they tend to be synchronized. Here, this is 1842 and almost every tree up there recorded

fire. We know that there was enough herbaceous ground cover to be able to support spreading

fires into at least the mid-1800s. Then you see it. It ceases and there has been no fire

on this site since, I think, 1858, looks like was the last significant year on this site,

which is early.

Here you can see it spatially. Here's a scale. This is 600 meters, the -spatial scale here.

This is on an air photo. Here, the yellow outline is the Frijolito Watershed. The red

trees are trees that showed a fire scar, sampled trees that had a fire scar dating to 1842.

The green ones are trees that were sampled at the same time that potentially could have

recorded that and did not. What you see is that this mesa - that fire spread widely across

this woodland mesa top. Indeed, 1842 was a watershed wide fire year in which this is

the canyon bottom. The headquarters of the park is actually right here, for those of

you who know it. 1842, there was fire across from these elevations all the way up to the

caldera rim, 13 miles up gradient. Fire was very widespread in that period, which requires

some kind of surface fuels to carry it.

This is what that world looks like today. It's inconceivable that you could sustain

surface fires. This is one strong line of evidence just about the magnitude of ecosystem

change in this site.

What drove this? The fires actually stopped several decades before active fire suppression

became a policy. Fire suppression did not become a policy until, subsequent to 1910,

right after 1910 there was a very bad fire year. Prior to that there was debate about

whether fire was a good or a bad thing in western forests. What happened prior to that,

though, in the year 1880, literally that year, railroads extended down out of Colorado into

New Mexico. They reached Santa Fe and Albuquerque and the foot of the Jemez in the year 1880.

By the 1890s census, there were 5 million sheep and 2 and a half million cattle and

hundreds of thousands of horses and burros and what not grazing in open range condition,

meaning, there were no permits on the extensive public lands. Literally, they ate the grassy

fields that sustained the surface fires. Fires collapsed, these surface fire patterns collapsed

all across the whole region in the 1880s and 1890s. By 1900, these surface fire patterns

no longer existed in this region, even though we have many hundreds of years of record.

They Jemez, actually, we've done many, many fire history studies in the higher elevation

forest, perhaps the best sampled landscape on the planet, intensity-wise. Anyway, this

story is quite robust. Livestock grazing, when you remove that herbaceous cover, it

also has major hydrological affects. In this part of the world, the sheet erosion that

we've been observing for the last number of decades here, appears to have been also triggered

by that same episode of landscape-wide livestock grazing, which by the way coincided with another

one of these severe drought episodes that was centered on 1900.

Basically, just as the livestock numbers peaked in the late 1800s, there was one of these

multi-year drought episodes, the decadal scale drought that continued into the very earliest

1900s. Animals were starving across the landscape and numerous documentation of just how bad

the range conditions had gotten. Basically, if you decrease the surface cover of plants

and measure how much erosion occurs, you cross, literally, a threshold where at some point

instead of the vegetation covered patches being connected, if you pull out a few too

many grass plants, the bare patches coalesce. It's called a percolating network. Basically,

the concept's pretty simple. Once the bare soil starts to connect when raindrops fall

during our intense summer thunderstorm monsoon period, the water aggregates. If it doesn't

run into anything to impede it and cause it to infiltrate, it just gathers energy as it

aggregates down the slope on these connected bare patches. That appears to have happened

broadly across these landscapes.

The overgrazing drove these two huge changes. It stopped the surface fires, which were regulating

the vegetation, and it also triggered these episodes of erosion at a landscape scale.

This is the erosion and run off monitoring infrastructure that we had for almost 20 years

in that watershed. I won't go into the details of it except to say we had 2 flumes down at

the mouth. We had a remote weather station. We had sediment traps at multiple spatial

scales. We were measuring vegetation cover. We measured surface erosion in multiple ways

through changes in micro-topography. We did an immense amount of work on this watershed.

This was the dominant thing in our summer season.

Every single precip[itation] event, we'd go out and re-measure ... We'd collect from the

sediment traps at 3 different scales, 1 square meter, a tenth hectare and the whole watershed.

We'd dig out those sediment traps and measure it. The run off was also collected. These

are those 3 spatial scales. The 1 square meter, the tenth hectare ...

What did I do, Karen?

Karen: What's wrong?

Craig: On my screen it's not full screen anymore. Here we go.

Karen: He just touched something.

Craig: Yeah I did, sorry.

Karen: Are you back?

Craig: Yeah. I'm back there. Anyway, point is only ... This is the same little chunk

of hill slope where some of these dead pieces of wood like this, we sampled six times trying

to get the best death date and the best germination date that we could. We have soil carbon measurements

all across this watershed. We measured wind erosion in this watershed. Here's one of the

wind samplers. The only point I'm trying to make, this one little 2 and a half acre hill

slope, we had tried to understand it's current patterning process and historically as best

we could using as many different methods and lines of evidence that we could. The bottom

line we were seeing, these soils are not that deep here. We're talking like 15, 18 inches

in most places. We're losing on the order of a centimeter a decade in the '90s when

we had these measurements.

This is just some of the data. A lot of variability between years reflecting the variability in

precip[itation]. I won't talk about this, other than to say that after ... I'll just

foreshadow to you that when you standardize the erosion rate as a function of both the

magnitude of each precip[itation] event, but also the intensity by which I mean the amount

of the precip[itation] that arrived in either a 15 minute or a 30 minute window, because

that intensity, if you get 1 inch over a 10 hour period, that's way different then if

you get 1 inch in 5 minutes. Our storms tend to be closer to the 1 inch in 20 minute kind

of variety. Those are the ones that do the work.

Anyway, this is standardized for that precip[itation] intensity of an event. What it showed is that

actually ... Don't worry about the axes. This is time from the beginning of the study to

the end. Notice here, that in the 2000s, the actual erosion rate started to go down. This

was after the pi�on trees died in '02-�03. Particularly when they started to fall on

the ground, which was surprisingly quickly, within 18 months. I'll show you why we think

that.

Also, we know that this erosion hasn't been going on for another ... You couldn't have

these kind of erosion rates for hundreds, much less thousands of years or this would

have been stripped, would have just been a bare rocky hill slope already. Another line

of evidence is that we literally have watched the channel network emerge before our eyes.

Here was the channel network early in the study in '96. There was the channel network

7 years later. We're literally watching these channels, with individual rainfall events,

emerge on the landscape, which is an indication that it's a new phenomenon to have that happen.

There it is a couple years even after that, further proliferation.

We also could, where the big ponderosa pine trees from the 1950s drought had died and

fallen, there are now in places created these log sediment dams. We figured that once that

log fell and started to accumulate sediment up slope, it buried the soil profile that

existed at the time the log started to do that. We had I think, like 4 or 5 places where

we trenched above and below the log to look at the soil profile. You, indeed, see that

below the log the topsoil had been much more removed then above the soil [log]. Again,

reflecting that these high rates of erosion we were measuring were relatively recent phenomenons.

This is not something that's been going on for a super long time.

Then here's what these landscapes looked like. Again, these trees died in 2002, 2003. Here's

what it looked like in 2004. The standard response was you got this herbaceous response

in the litter mounds right underneath the tree. 2005 we finally got a wetter winter.

The drought had persisted through �04. 2005 was near normal winter. We got pretty good

herbaceous response across large areas that previously had been bare with less tree competition.

Then the trees are already falling on the ground. What these things did, is they interrupted

again the continuity of the bare soil. We started to see a decline in the erosion rate.

These are just measurements of that. Here was the decline in the percent of the bare

soil and the corresponding increase in litter of various sorts. I think we're going to see

logs emerge in this. The brown are the logs. These are the logs that had died pre-1993

that were on the landscape mostly in the 1950s. These are the channel networks as of 2006.

Those are, I believe, the pi�on logs as of 2006. There's more now.

I won't go into this. That's some detail and connectivity. This is an important summary

slide to just visually think about this. In the last -since 1600 -we've gone through a

landscape that had no trees, to a landscape that then developed an open ponderosa pine

system with surface fire for 200 plus years. That then, through land use change, the surface

fires stopped and it becomes a highly erosive landscape. The ponderosa pine that dominated

the middle all died in the '50s drought and did not regenerate. We were left with pi�on

and juniper, that then all the pi�on died in the early 2000s and we were left with just

juniper. Now we're starting to see recovery to more herbaceous conditions again in some

places.

Meanwhile, at the same time, starting in the late �80s, once we determined that this

erosion was A.) a big deal; B.) recent enough to be tied to Euroamerican settlement patterns

and this overgrazing history and the changes that brought, we started to say, �Well,

is there anything we can do about it?� We worked - this is a master student, Geneva

Chong, who we supported in '92 to do this work - testing in multiple kinds of treatments.

Basically, we were seeing what can you do. We tested seeding, mulching, raking in the

seed. We girdled trees to simulate herbicide, maybe because there might have been just too

much woody competition. That's one of the issues. Mulching - here you see the straw

we were testing - multiple things.

That morphed into a larger study once we had some initial results where we worked in two

adjoining 100 acre watersheds, what we called the paired watershed experiment. This was

a Ph.D. project for a man named Richard Gatewood. The vegetation specialist at Bandelier, Brian

Jacobs, was central to all of this work. Brian's actually retiring at the end of the month.

The big summary write up of this has just been accepted in, I forget what journal. Anyway,

Brian has summarized all of this. Richard actually didn't get as much of it published

as we would have liked. This was Brian's big summary project.

Anyway, this is much of the various kinds of measurements of the erosion and vegetation

cover. What we did - these two adjoining watersheds - there was the control watershed on the west.

This second watershed was treated in 1997, after 1 year of baseline studies.

The basic treatment that we had converged on was to go in and cut smaller pi�ons and

originally, mostly, junipers and lop and scatter the branches across the bare inner spaces

between the trees. When we tested that method, here is the boundaries. This is a helicopter

view. This is the control watershed. This is the treatment watershed. This is, literally

- looks like it was June - this would have been three months post-treatment. There it

is looking down on it on the boundary between the watershed. They're standing on that boundary.

This is two growing seasons post-treatment. It's like walking from the moon to a meadow

walking across that boundary, even yet today. The treatments that you see, the dead branches.

You see the immense herbaceous response that occurred from that changing. What it basically

does is by putting those branches down, they act as zillions of little check dams. They

create the surface roughness that the water - instead of aggregating and running off - leaving

a easily drying soil behind and eroding, the water infiltrates when it hits the surface

roughness, and now the new live vegetation, which leaves more plant available water. More

of the water is retained on site. Also, then you start getting more shading. You get changes

in the micro-environment that the soil surface, where a seed, a little tiny seed - you got

to think what is the environment that that experiences. You basically change the microenvironment.

Literally, with this simple treatment, no exotic ... In the end we didn't seed, our

experimentation determined that the more conservative treatment of just modifying with this slash,

the dynamics of water on the system, take systems that look like this into systems that

look like that within 2 to 3 growing seasons.

However, at the same time that we did this work, we were right at the end of the wet

period. We were starting to go into that dry period. The year after treatment of this was

- we caught a nice wet year of '97. Since that we've been in drought.

Here's zooming in this nice little quadrate is an award frame, for the scale. Basically,

it [inaudible 00:57:23] ramped up, existing plants got larger and many new plants established.

This is what 6 years after treatment the treated watershed looked like. It was astounding.

We put it on a public trail because we were pretty confident it would respond this way

by that point. It made it an easy place to interpret, to bring people in.

We also supported a Master's project that looked at 6 pairs of basins, ten hectares

each where we put these little silk pan stands to measure the sediment yield in the treated

and the untreated. What you find is after treatment sediment accumulation dropped 100

fold at that spatial scale. It works.

The diversity and productivity of every biotic group we looked at from butterflies to grasses,

birds, surface-dwelling arthropods, those all increased in both diversity and abundance.

This system's not surprising, the base of the food web. The herbaceous part of the system

greatly increased the productivity.

The whole process, the Park Service was close to ready to go, about 2000 to do this and

then the Cerro Grande fire happened. That truncated the leadership of the park for some

time. It was a success on the part of some of us who survived that transition to just

keep this project alive and on the burner of the incoming superintendents. In 10 years,

the park had 8 superintendents from the period from 2000 to 2010. You all can imagine what

that would be like a little bit.

Anyway, by about 2005 it was back on the radar screen. There was a multi-year Environmental

Impact Statement done to consider treating up to 5,000 acres in Bandelier. Most of that

is in congressionally-designated wilderness, again, to remind you. In August, that EIS

went through and we began the full scale treatments.

Just a comment about that, I would say that ... This was, and remains, a quite unprecedented

project because the minimum tool that was determined necessary to implement this project

was a chainsaw. This cutting, involved cutting small juniper stems and lopping them into

pieces, then hand scattering them in congressionally designated wilderness in a National Park unit.

It was about 4,800 acres treated, most of that in wilderness.

Here you see that veg[etation] map of the park and it's immediate joining areas. This

will show the ... Sorry, to back up again. Again, just to remind you, these orange areas

are the mesa top woodlands at the lower elevation mesa tops where the treatments are ... That's

where the issue was. That's where this project was about.

Here you see the years, I'll just toggle through where the treatments occurred. This was that

treatment watershed. That's 100 acres right there. That was done in '97. A decade later,

we started the actual treatments for the project. There's '08. Actually '09 happened. These

all happened, too. These are old slides, sorry. I recycled part of an old show. In the end,

it was close to 5,000 acres were treated and it was done as of September 2010, the project

was implemented.

When you go into these areas, not every acre is treated within this. If you zoomed in there

would be another whole mosaic - areas that where the soils were too far gone, or the

soils were skeletal, or they were too much rock exposed. It was too late. Pumice soils

were not treated with a few exceptions. There's two different substrates, these old alfisols

of the tuff that were these 100,000 year old soils. Then there's a really porous, coarse-textured

soil layer of air fall pumice. The erosion was not a big issue in those. Those already

such high infiltration rates.

A whole array of monitoring in there to determine the success of these things. This work is

ongoing and continued. It doesn't get done every year but we have baseline and all these

places. There have been some re-measurements, enough to have some indication of the success.

Quite a few archeological sites that have been monitored within there as well.

From pre-and post-treatment, there's many more arch[eology]sites then this within the

treatment zones, but these are the ones where there's been formal monitoring of the change

in erosion on the cultural resource sites.

Again, nearing the end here, just as a reminder, this is the Bandelier Wilderness boundary.

There are some areas of woodland here outside that boundary. Then in the outlying unit,

the Tsankawi Unit, that's not wilderness. It was that combination, I'm quite confident

this project would not have, at least it's much less likely it would have been improved

and there would have been the energy to see it through if it was just a natural resource

issue, if it was just about accelerated erosion. The fact that it was both a cultural and a

natural resource issue, and that it was impacting the cultural resources for which the monument

was designated. This is actually within the Wilderness Act, this was the part that supports

the intervention in an untrammeled wilderness, in an area. We were not trying to restore

a particular structure of vegetation. It's not like we're not trying to get it to 32

stems per acre of a certain size class. What we were trying to restore is the process,

the natural processes that had been interrupted. The balance between surface cover and run

off and erosion processes, and the feedbacks to the vegetation that come from that and,

ultimately, the feedbacks with surface fire, again, in the system.

It was done with some discomfort on our part. Brian Jacobs and I, in particular, were the

two drivers of this thing. Yeah, we're fully aware, we've left fingerprints, hand prints

at some level on that wilderness landscape. juniper stumps - we're only cutting small

stems out there - but they don't decay rapidly at all. They're quite persistent. People use

them as fence posts for that reason. There are a number of uncertainties in terms of

how this system will respond. It was framed in a restoration framework. We called it an

ecological restoration project. You can't go back to where it was. The best part of

those soils had already been lost from those affected areas. The system, just from that

alone, couldn't go back. Of course, climatically we're moving into no analog terrain fairly

rapidly. We're pretty much there in the Southwest in recent years.

We may get a reprieve, by the way, in the Southwest because sometime in the next decade,

the Pacific should slosh back to the warm phase in which el Nino conditions

would be more prevalent again. We may actually get a wetter and thus a bit cooler window

again for a bit. By mid-century it'll go back again. At that point it will be pretty difficult,

probably, for a lot of the current vegetation in this landscape. We've seen a foreshadowing

of what that can look like. If it's another degree C[elcius] or two warmer, by the next

big drought episode, we'll see another round of this.

In the meantime, I'm thinking there's going to be a good window to do treatments of this

sort and it gets things in the higher forest types, the kinds of things it seems like Chris

talked about last week.

Anyway, it's amazing. The most negative ... We went through an EIS process with public meetings,

multiple public meetings in the cities of Los Alamos and Santa Fe. The most two negative

comments received on this project were from Brian Jacobs' daughter, a grade school student

who sent him a drawing that said, "Please save the trees, Dad."

And from a Park Service regional wilderness manager who just, philosophically, didn't

like the idea of intervention, deliberate intervention, in a wilderness area, even though

our bases for that were that the system was far from natural. It had been intervened in,

deliberately and inadvertently, many times previous and thus it was out of whack, in

a sense.

We brought in the three... The Bandelier Wilderness was congressionally-designated in 1976. We

put that paired watershed study in a place where it would be easily accessible. It was

in the wilderness, in the edge of the wilderness. We brought the three godparents of the Bandelier

Wilderness in actually on the same field trip. We spent the day, along with others. We had

the Park Service Wilderness Steering Committee in there on the ground, at least once, maybe

twice, given the delay in the project.

We go through our best understanding of how this landscape had changed through time, what

our evidence for it was. Some of these uncertainties, we were very clear about what we did and didn't

know, at least our best understanding of it. At the end we would ask people and then you

would go out and look at the treatment. It's such a dramatic treatment effect. The end

question was, what would you do if it was your responsibility to manage this with a

Park Service mission, or a mandate, to maintain these resources "unimpaired"? How to best

balance those things? We had that conversation up front before the EIS process. We brought

in the people most likely to object, the Wilderness Society. We brought in various wilderness

people, the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance and the Wilderness Society, and various other

environmental groups. We brought in many of the locals who loved and love still, Bandelier

and its wilderness.

In the end, people thought we were taking the responsible course of action. Nonetheless,

there are these uncertainties and, thus, the monitoring should continue. This is just some

of the new work by the Southern Colorado Plateau INM program at putting a new set of plots

in the last half dozen years that are part of it.

The last slide I have is just a little bit of a shout out, actually, to the crew members.

Here actually is Rory Gautier who just retired last summer. Archeologist extraordinaire.

He grew up in this landscape. Rory was great, directly overseeing the treatments, sure there

weren't impacts from treatments on the arch[eology]sites that we didn't want. We did treat over most

of the arch[eology]sites in the sense of cutting out trees we didn't want, that would not have

been there, except for the absence of fire, and spreading some slash around, particularly

the margins of the sites.

These crews, I want to just mention, it was contracted out. This is a guy named Noel Aquino

from the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. All the crew members were mostly, probably,

illiterate. Certainly I speak Spanish well enough to really enjoy interacting with them

out there. Noel so understood the prescription of what we were trying to achieve. He moved

faster than we could. Anyway, I just wanted to recognize just how hard, and how fast,

and how well the quality of the work that they did. It wouldn't have happened without

that.

I think that's enough. I think I'll stop. One more thing I'll just say is that ... I

didn't think about that until it was just a little too late today, but that was through

2010 this treatment was implemented. We been in severe drought since 2000 onward with,

literally, since 2000 there have only been 3 years where we had close to average long

term mean winter precip[itation]. The �11, �12, and �13 have all been very dry. �14

we've been close to average again. In 2011 there was extraordinary fire. The Las Conchas

fire that burned 156,000 acres in the landscape including 2/3 of Bandelier's area. It did

burn over, I think it's 23% of the treated area, so there's another variable in the mix.

The intention has been to keep fire out of the treatment areas for at least a decade

to allow the perennial herbaceous vegetation to increase enough. We don't want to burn

up the woody slash too soon because that's really a form of biological capital. We only

get one shot at that on these fairly low productivity sites.

Anyway, on a little over 20% of the treated areas, it did burn. We've been monitoring

the effects of that as well. The story will continue. We're clearly in this era, the Anthropocene.

We're on a trajectory. We're not going back to that historic range of variability any

time soon it doesn't look like if the climate models are at all right.

Anyway, let me stop there. If people have questions or whatever, glad to discuss further.

Karen: Craig, thanks for a great talk! Do people have questions and comments?

Jim: Craig, this is Jim Kendrick. I'm up in the Northeast Region now, but I was out at

El Malpais during the time frame that you're talking about there. You've done a remarkable

study and the team at Bandelier's done a fantastic job there. It's just remarkable to see. I

remember traveling back to Bandelier during one of those years right around the pi�on

die off. It was so dramatic, it was difficult to recognize the landscape from what I had

known in the past. Now to see it graphically, and with all the data you have, is just tremendous.

Great job.

Craig: Thank you. Again, there were a lot of players involved. Thanks.

Jim: I gone up with Rory to see some of these areas. We did something writ small and certainly

not as scientifically rigorous out in some portions of El Malpais off the lava that were

pretty successful, too. It was good.

Karen: Go ahead.

Speaker 4: Hi Craig, this is Chris Roos.

Craig: Hey, Chris!

Speaker 4: How are you?

Craig: Good.

Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you about the conditions before the 17th century germination and regrowth

in Frijolito. How much, particularly in light of the absence of major erosion after the

Ancestral Pueblo occupation do you think that the human use and deforestation and agricultural

use of that landscape interfaced with the 16th century mega-droughts? I guess, contracted

with the grazing impacts, what those two different, fairly intensive, use scenarios meant for

the erosion and hydrological history?

Craig: It gets a bit speculative. If you want to come out and investigate on small basins,

Chris, we would love it. Try to get some, see what resolution might be attainable. What

might have been happening in terms of sediment dynamics in little basins or things there.

The way I envision what happened there in the 1500s, is that the Ancestral Puebloan

folks had ... The weighted component of that system was squeezed pretty low by that point,

by the mid -500s. I don't know about exhaustion of the soils. Bob Powers is still trying to

sort some of that out, trying to finish off a dissertation. I don't think he's quite finished

it yet.

I think that what was holding the soils together was not trees. It was the herbaceous cover,

the things that were providing the fuel connectivity for surface fires, which, admittedly, were

lower frequency down in that zone then they were just a little bit further up-mesa when

you get into the ponderosa pine, more into the heart of the ponderosa pine zone. The

fire frequencies are substantially greater in the tree ring record.

We're getting down to this zone where fuels probably were limiting. That's climate mediated

in part of course down there. The way they conducted agriculture with digging sticks,

I don't see them ... I don't know, tell me if I'm thinking wrong about this. In terms

of interrupting, I don't see them creating big sloughs of bare soil, connected bare soil,

in a way that would have promoted a big pulse of erosion. I'm sure there were localized

patches of it. That's my sense. Then the 1580s mega-drought there. The thought around here

is that was the last straw that pushed people off. You don't see tree ring cutting dates

in the few that we have from the Pajarito Plateau, from the Bandelier part of the world.

There's very few after 1550; there�s a couple. There's nothing after 1580. That seemed to

be the last thing, the last straw in it. Then, of course, the Spanish arriving, and missionized

and colonized that part of the world right then in 1598. The whole sequence is altered

after that.

Was there something else? I'm not quite sure what you were fishing for there.

Speaker 4: I've got a lot on my mind. I don't want to take up everybody else's time. Maybe

you and I can chat again at some point.

Craig: Yeah, be pleased, of course.

Speaker 4: Thanks for a great talk too.

Craig: Thank you.

Speaker 5: Craig, this is Helen Farely I had a question. I guess it might have been related

to Chris's but you'd mentioned early on ... This was the main question. I'm curious about it

that it was speculation that it was deforestation that had reset the landscape in the 1600s.

It would sound to me like what you just said a moment ago, suggests that there really isn't

direct evidence for that. That might be more speculation then actually based on evidence

for extensive cutting of beams or whatever during that period.

Craig: That's true! For sure, that's true. The other thing, and I didn't say that, but

the 1580s, that's been the index mega-drought for the last millennium. The late 1200s, the

1280s, and the 1580s are thought to been the 2 worst droughts regionally, more or less,

until perhaps the one we're in now, which is being amplified in severity, from a plant

perspective, by the warmer temperatures.

In any case, the 1580s drought was severe enough, almost certainly, to have killed lots

of trees as well, in systems. There's some, again, indirect evidence of that when you

look at tree ... Peter Brown and Tom Swetnum 20 something years ago just looked at all

the tree ring samples from the Southwest region that were in the tree ring lab archives at

that time, in their databases, and looked at how old trees were. What you find is, you

can find lots of trees, many trees, 400 years old. There's lots of trees that old in the

Southwest. Pushing back right to that late 1500s drought window. Then the number of trees

that people find to sample drops precipitously. Then there's a really long tail that goes

back for hundreds of years.

These trees can live many hundreds of years more than 400 years old. It looks like a lot

of things didn't get through the late 1500s drought. Like a lot of these things, it could

have been interactive. If you think about how much wood people would have needed to

use, again high densities, high numbers of people, for centuries doing swidden agriculture,

probably using fire as a tool to clear the canopies. They're not growing. Their staple

foods are all a very light-loving. They need it to be open. They're all things you cook,

corn, beans, and squash. You need fuel wood. They're living in stone structures on mesa

tops that are quite cold in the winter time. You're heating.

It's actually hard to imagine how they could NOT have deforested those mesa tops over that

time period. These trees don't grow that fast. Again, the age structure, and it's not just

in that one hectare. We don't find old pi�ons anywhere on these mesa tops that go past that

window. Again, there's some confounding effect there. I think of that late 1500s mega-drought.

Maybe that took out ... There should have been young trees that got through that, that

would be 500 years old today. Whereas at the Mesa Verde you can find 600-700 year old pi�on.

You find pi�ons that established in the century after that landscape was abandoned,

which in there there is some better archeological evidence like changes in fuel wood found in

hearths and things through time indicated that fuel wood scarcity was emerging in that

part of the world up there in the Cortez and Mesa Verde kind of regions.

Yeah, we don't have some perfect smoking gun for that.

Speaker 5: Can I ask one other real quick question. You mentioned that in follow-up

to doing all this treatment you have a sample of archeological sites that are being monitored

for erosion control.

Craig: Correct.

Speaker 5: Can you just very, very briefly because I know people have other questions

but, one, either give me an overview of what's involved in that, or [two] point me to where

I might be able to find more information about-

Craig: Can you send me an email and I will send you the report that was completed recently.

Speaker 5: Okay, that'd be great.

Craig: On that work. That would be, by far, the best way to do it.

Speaker 5: Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Excellent talk. It was fascinating. Thank

you.

Karen: Craig, do you have a link or a URL for that report? I can also post it along

with the webinar.

Craig: I don't have a URL for it, but I could send you a copy of the PDF and you could post

it easy enough.

Karen: That�s true. I can scan it and post it. If you want to do that I'd be happy to

post it for you. I think that these are topics that are going to be a wide interest as we

grapple with some of these same issues.

Speaker 5: Are all these talks all being recorded? This talk, in particular, as I was listening

to it was thinking of about at least a couple dozen people who would really benefit from

hearing it if they weren't on the call.

Karen: Yes. All of the talks that has been offered to the ArcheoThursday webinars for

the last 3 years have been recorded. They're on two different places on Park Service websites.

I sent out the links in the past but I'll do it again. Helen, are you on the ... This

is Helen Farley, right?

Speaker 5: Correct.

Karen: You're not on my mailing list.

Speaker 5: Apparently not, but I sure wish I had been and I would love to be on it in

the future.

Karen: Okay. I'll add your name and when I do that, you'll get the link to the previous

webinars. This one will be up next week. There's a small problem. I've started advertising

these more widely. At the moment, they are not ADA compliant. I haven't gotten very much

assistance in sending out the word. I think I have money to caption all of them. Once

I do, then I'll be able to link them to all different kinds of announcements.

Speaker 5: Wonderful.

Karen: I think I'll be able to raise their visibility a bit more. I'll send you the links

to the previous ones. This one is recorded. It will be available next week.

Speaker 5: Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

Karen: You're welcome.

BREAKING NEWS About Anti-Trump Lindsey Vonn – Her Life Just Ended TODAY! - Duration: 6:03.

BREAKING NEWS About Anti-Trump Lindsey Vonn – Her Life Just Ended TODAY!

The last 5 days have been particularly rough for Olympic alpine skier Lindsey Vonn.

Ever since she decided to use her public platform to slam our president, she's suffered the

recourse of that really bad decision.

She should have learned from the immense fallout in the NFL but refused to.

Now, she's decided to make the final blow to her hard-earned Olympic career with what

she did today against the president and accidentally ended it for herself.

Three strikes and you're out, Vonn.

Hope you enjoyed your time in the limelight deviating from the sport to trash a man who

has made America great for you to represent in the Olympics.

It doesn't look like that's going to happen now – or ever again.

It's strange how athletes have no problem using Trump to bring attention to themselves

by making such bold public statements, for how much they hate him.

What's even odder, is that they never seem to learn their lesson and can't stop themselves

from slandering him, regardless of the massive ramifications.

The latest "victim" of this stupidity is Vonn who just got what she earned when

she opened her mouth and said, "Well, I hope to represent the people of the United

States, not the president," according to CNN.

Last Friday, on December 8, Vonn made the first of her very bad inflammatory moves against

our president, by aligning herself with the likes of disrespectful NFL stars who completely

ruined their sport and the industry with their anti-American antics.

Refusing to represent our president in the Olympics, the Gold Medalist alpine skier made

a tasteless remark that began her demise.

It's only been downhill from there in a competition against Trump and his supporters

that she lost after the final straw today.

Just like sponsors in the NFL fled in droves after major profit losses caused by protesting

players, this Olympian is starting to feel the pain of making divisive statements where

they don't belong.

After doubling down on her tasteless remark by adding, "I want to represent our country

well," Vonn explained.

"I don't think that there are a lot of people currently in our government that do

that," one of her biggest sponsors realized what a liability to their business she is.

Fans began to boycott the support of her and her sponsors who pay her a lot of money to

represent their brands as a good American.

She proved to be a poor sport, which didn't go over well.

48 hours after making her remarks, she suffered some rather unfortunate – and painful – karma

when she was injured on the slopes after finishing the World Cup Super G race in St Moritz.

However, karma wasn't done with her there.

Vonn initiated the third blow to her career that's going to be hard to come back from

after the very divisive athlete took it upon herself to publicly lecture Americans on "unity"

and the country's "direction."

She could have apologized or simply kept her mouth shut in the aftermath of her original

statements, but instead tried to act as if she were the President of the United States,

and irritated and offended a lot of people.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

On Tuesday Lindsey Vonn took to Instagram to lecture Americans on unity — after dissing

the Republican president seven days ago.

Lindsey also felt it necessary to tell Americans how difficult it is for her to watch European

media trash our president and America's direction.

Here's Lindsey Vonn's latest statement:

Lindsey Vonn: As I head to France for the next races, I would like to share with you

my reflections from the past few days.

I've received a tremendous amount of feedback, both positive and negative, about my recent

CNN interview.

The point that I was trying to articulate is that all Olympic athletes represent their

nation as a whole, and are not representatives of their government or any specific political

figure or party.

None of us work tirelessly for years on end to compete in the Olympics on behalf of Democrats

or Republicans.

The Olympics are a non-political event, a chance for everyone to put aside their differences

and be on the same "team.".

That does not mean that Olympic athletes don't have political opinions.

As an American, I am extremely proud that our great nation was founded on principals

and ideals where citizens can express our opinions openly.

It is a privilege that some others around the world don't have.

I am proud to be an American, and I want our country to continue to be a symbol of hope,

compassion, inclusion and world unity.

My travels around the world have recently made clear that this is no longer how people

view the United States.

You cannot pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV in Europe without noticing how people

are questioning our direction.

It seems to me that we must lead with understanding and strive for unity in our relationships

throughout the world.

As for myself, my recent comments opened up my eyes as to how divided we are right now.

It is hurtful to read comments where people are hoping I break my neck or that God is

punishing me for being "anti-Trump."

We need to find a way to put aside our differences and find common ground in communicating.

Is it wrong to hope for a better world?

All of this is much bigger than skiing and the Olympics.

I am going to take the next two months to focus on what I can do and right now that

is competing for my country.

In doing that, I will be hoping that we Americans can still be that "shining city on a hill."

Let's also not forget that Vonn is really not in a position to criticize others who

she considered to be morally depraved, as one commenter on Breitbart's story pointed

out:

"Nude photo shooting Lindsey who dated drug-addled philandering Tiger Woods now appoints herself

a paragon of American virtue?

You want to shoot your mouth off and enter politics baby, run for office.

You want to suck my tax dollars on the Olympic team and represent me… you keep your mouth

shut and focus on skiing, maybe you can win a medal for a change??"

The Olympics is a time and a place where Americans come together and root for the same team.

That should have been the message that Vonn shared going into the games, instead of a

divisive one.

It's proof that despite their claim of Trump being the divider, they are truly the ones

preventing opposing sides from mending as they perpetuate the hate.

What do you think about this?

Can This Man Review A Book While Totally Stoned? - Duration: 4:28.

- Mahalo, book nerds.

I'm Jon Gabrus, and this is Blazed Book Reviews.

Yeah, I read.

(classical music)

(water bong bubbling)

My guest today is Nate Dern,

author of Not Quite a Genius.

(rock music)

- Alright, thanks for having me.

- Dude, don't you love books, man?

Hey, have you ever read this book?

- Ishmael by Daniel Quinn?

Yes, I read that in high school.

- Sick, dude.

Gorillas teaching people stuff,

people learning from gorillas and stuff?

- It's pretty wild.

- [John] Yeah. It's pretty dope right?

- I thought we were gonna be talking about my book.

- This is a new book, right?

- Yeah. - Yeah so,

maybe the read--

you know, my watchers haven't read it.

- I guess probably not.

- No. So there you go.

But have you guys read this?

- [Crowd Voiceover] Totally. Yeah. Book.

- This is sick.

Me and Nate Dern,

author of

Not Quite a Genius

highly recommend Ishmael.

Alright, enough of this book bullshit.

It's time for Weed Pairings.

(upbeat pop music)

For this week's Weed Pairing,

I sought out a strain that would pair well

with Not Quite a Genius by Nate Dern,

and I found that strain in Sour Diesel.

Sour Diesel!

Or as I call it, Sour D.

It's got a pungent, gasoline-like aroma,

and its cerebral high?

It is perfect for the absurd and dark humor

found in this book.

Now, I wouldn't smoke an Indica before reading this book,

because you might fall asleep.

- That's not nice.

- No no no, it's not a dig on your book.

That's what Indica does.

Remember kids, Indica equals Into Couch.

- Kids probably shouldn't be smoking

any type of marijuana, right? - Or reading.

- Or reading?

- This has been Weed Pairings.

Thought experiment.

If you press this button,

your book becomes a New York Times number one Best Seller,

but someone somewhere dies.

Do you push it?

- No.

(laser blasting) Whoa.

- A person died anyway.

And your book is not number one.

- Oh, that's awful.

- Shit. What if I died?

- You didn't, though.

- Who knows?

I could be dead already.

Elon Musk.

- What about him?

- Not sure.

He's the future car guy?

- Yeah, Tesla. - Tesla.

(funky music)

Alright this challenge

is Stream of Consciousness.

We have five hours to write

whatever you want on this piece of paper.

- Five hours?

- Let's make it a minute. - Okay.

- Let the clock start now.

(silly time passing music)

Time.

I'll read yours first.

- Oh my gosh.

- Here, just pass me your whole pad.

- Alright. (clears throat)

Oh good, sloppy handwriting.

"I am talking to a high person.

"But I myself am not high.

"This reminds me of every party I went to in high school.

"I did not smoke then

"because I was on the cross country team."

- It's true. And I ran out of time.

- Oh. That's pretty awesome. Okay.

- Thank you.

- Here's mine. - I read yours?

- Yeah, you read mine. - Okay.

(laughs)

Okay.

"Two german shepherds having sex."

- Sick, right?

- That's all you wrote.

- Yeah, well, we only had a minute.

This has been Blazed Book Reviews.

I'm Jon Gabrus.

Come back for next week's episode

where I interview J. R. Tolkien.

- So thanks again for having me on.

I appreciate it.

Are you fake talking?

You're fake talking because it's the end credits?

I think we can really talk.

Maybe it was a mistake to be on this.

It's pretty early in the morning

and you're already so high.
