DESCRIPTION:Professor Steven Businger of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences leads a seminar on The Hurricane of 1871.\n\n\nHigh literacy rates among Native Hawaiians in the 19th century and publication of more than 100 Hawaiian language newspapers from 1834 to 1948 produced the largest archive of indigenous writing in the western hemisphere.\n\nThese newspapers extend our knowledge of historical environmental events and natural disasters back into the early 19th century and deeper into pre-contact times. Articles reporting observations of meteorological events allowed us to reconstruct the track and intensity of an 1871 hurricane that brought devastation to Hawaiʻi and Maui and to discern historical patterns of droughts and floods in Hawaiʻi. These findings illustrate the value of Hawaiian language newspapers as resources for science research and science education.\n\nRefreshments: 3:00pm at the MSB courtyard – Free Cookies, Coffee & Tea Provided (please bring your own cup)
