Environmental Seminars Speaker – Dr. Christian Bruckner

Three RIvers Community College 574 New London Turnpike, Norwich, CT, United States

Please join us for an evening with Dr. Christian Bruckner.

Dr. Bruckner was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and raised in Mexico and Germany. He studied chemistry and
biology at the RWTH Aachen University, Germany. Dr. Bruckner joined the faculty of the University
of Connecticut, in 1998, where he is currently a professor and head of the Department
of Chemistry. His research interests lie in the synthesis and evaluation of porphyrinoids, coordination
chemistry, and the occurrence of oligopyrroles as dyes in nature.

We hope you'll join us and discuss issues, ideas and methods of improving our environment with Dr. Bruckner

See you soon.

Thank you

Environmental Seminars Speaker – Kim Hargrave

Three RIvers Community College 574 New London Turnpike, Norwich, CT, United States

Please join us for an evening with Kim Hargrave.

Kim’s love of nature started as a child growing up in Ledyard, CT playing in the pond and red maple swamps behind her house. 
That passion took a professional turn while attending the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, graduating with a degree in natural resources. 
She started at DPNC in 1998, working first as an educator before filling the role of education director.

We hope you'll join us and discuss issues, ideas and methods of improving our environment with Kim Hargrave.

See you soon.

Thank you

Environmental Seminars Speaker – Dr. Peter Siver

Three RIvers Community College 574 New London Turnpike, Norwich, CT, United States

Please join us for an evening with Dr. Peter Siver.

Dr. Siver is a noted expert in limnology, the study of lakes. Dr. Siver shows that surrounding watersheds help regulate the effect of acid rain on lakes and ponds, in some cases reducing acidity over time.

Dr. Siver's research interests include studying the ability of extant and fossil algal floras, especially chrysophytes and diatoms, to reveal the effects of environmental stresses on aquatic ecosystems; the use of algal assemblages in reconstructing paleoenvironments; biotic surveys of chrysophyte floras in New England, the Adirondacks, the Poconos, Florida and Argentina; integration of the Geographic Information System (GIS) in lake management issues; and the chemistry of Connecticut lakes.

We hope you'll join us and discuss issues, ideas and methods of improving our environment with Dr. Siver.

See you soon.

Thank you
