Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee: How Unique Were They in the Catskill Mountains?

During the late summer and early fall of 2011 the Catskill Mountains in south –central New York State experienced major flood events associated with former Hurricane Irene and former Tropical Storm Lee. These were perceived to be unique in the known history of the region, were perceived to be part of a recent change in the frequency of such events, and marked a turning point in the perceptions of residents about climate change. Here the precipitation and stream gauge records are evaluated to determine just how unique this season was, considering that this region is particularly flood prone. The historical precipitation gauge record requires careful analysis due to the changing availability of stations. After an appropriate set of stations is developed specifically for this analysis, events of lengths 1-day, 5-days, as well as 30 and 60 days are analyzed to identify the major events since ~1900; and to evaluate Irene and Lee in the historical context. Results indicate that the period between 1996 and 2011, and in particular the events of Fall, 2011, were unprecedented in the historical record. The implications of this about climate change, if any, will be discussed.

An Accidental Biographer:

Julia Van Haaften on

Berenice Abbott

JULIA VAN HAAFTEN, a former New York Public Library special collections librarian and photography curator, wrote the

essay on Berenice Abbott for the 1988 volume in Aperture Foundation’s “Masters of Photography” series (revised last year).

affective personal encounters.

Marie Chauvet/Haiti:Chauvet’s Theaters of Revolt

Free + Open to the publicMonday, October 24 | Segal Theatre 6:30pm Evening Readings + 2:00pm Afternoon Symposium

Join us for a celebration of the 100th birthday of Haitian playwright and novelist Marie Chauvet. Marie Chauvet was forced to flee Haiti after publishing works critical of the race and class structures undergirding Haitian society and politics during the totalitarian regime of François “Papa Doc” Duvalier. Her most well-known work, the trilogy Love, Anger, and Madness, was first published in Paris in 1968 with the support of Simone de Beauvoir, bringing her much acclaim and putting her life in great danger. Though best known as a novelist, Chauvet was also a playwright, and much of her prose fiction is written as dramatic dialogue.

Readings of excerpts in English directed by Alice Reagan. Followed by panel discussion with Gina Athena Ulysse, Judith Miller, and Frank Hentschker.

Organized by Professors Alessandra Benedicty-Kokken (City College of New York, CUNY) and Kaiama L. Glover (Barnard College, Columbia University) in collaboration with Frank Hentschker (The Segal Center), the program will bring together scholars, experts, and theatre artists to introduce Chauvet’s work for the stage.

The event is co-presented and made possible by the Henri Peyre French Institute with additional support from IRADAC (Institute for Research on the African Diaspora in the Americas and the Caribbean), GC CUNY.
