SUMMARY:Race the Wave
DESCRIPTION:Race the Wave\nSaturday\, September 13\, 8am-12pm \nAre you ready? If you had to escape a tsunami event in Santa Cruz how long would it take you to run or walk to high ground?

The race begins on the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf\, follows Pacific Avenue through the downtown area and concludes at Mission Plaza Park\, outside the updated maximum tsunami inundation zone. \nAt the finish line\, an emergency preparedness fair will bring together City departments and community-based organizations to share emergency preparedness information with the community. The fair will focus community attention on the need for 72 hours of personal and household preparedness.

SUMMARY:"Weather and the Whale"
DESCRIPTION:“Weather and the Whale”\n\n\nTuesday–Sunday 12–5pm\, through October 12 \nWeather and the Whale is a major exhibition project featuring immersive displays of original science research and newly commissioned contemporary artworks. Working at the intersections of art and science to connect people to the impacts of climate change\, the project brings leading artists into collaboration with marine ecologists at the Friedlaender Lab at UC Santa Cruz \nThe title of the exhibition reflects the roles that both weather and whales take as indicators of climate change. Just as changing weather patterns indicate broader climate shifts\, whale behaviors are also an indicator of a rapidly changing world. Presented across the three galleries and the screening room at the IAS\, Weather and the Whale includes new research and data developed through two years of fieldwork by the Friedlaender Lab. This data\, much made public for the first time\, delves into the impacts on whales and other large marine mammals of environmental toxins\, sea ice retreat\, and other threats\, including what is happening in Monterey Bay and along California’s coast. \nFor the internationally acclaimed artists in the exhibition\, the research has provided a unique vantage point to creatively engage these and other ecological threats to whales and all their land-based counterparts. Video installations\, sculptures\, photography\, and other artworks\, most newly created for the exhibition\, provide novel and experiential ways of seeing and understanding the human and nonhuman experiences of living in times of climate crisis– and to imagine global climate justice across land and ocean \n\n\n\nBringing together new research and artworks produced through a two-year collaboration between scientists at UC Santa Cruz’s Friedlaender Lab and contemporary artists\, Weather and the Whale moves between land and ocean\, human and nonhuman experience to tell multi-perspectival and multi-sensorial stories of climate crisis. \nADMISSION – Free and open to the public\nGallery hours – Tuesday–Sunday: 12–5pm\, closed on holidays \nINFORMATION: ias.ucsc.edu/visit \nPARKING – Convenient and free self-parking is available on Panetta Ave. and High Rd.\, immediately adjacent to the galleries. Accessible parking is on High Rd.
