Registration required: hosted by Adirondack Explorer at The Wild Center
Discussing our changing climate and the road ahead with a NASA scientist, Department of Environmental leaders and researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, City University of New York, Yale and the Ausable Freshwater Center.
This Adirondack Explorer event, in partnership with the Adirondack Earth-to-Sky program, will examine what we can learn about the Adirondack Park’s changing climate from the union of satellite data and boots-on-the-ground field work, with an update on the latest from the Study of Climate and Adirondack Lake Ecosystems. We’ll also explore what role leaders can play in understanding, communicating and mitigating the local harms of climate change.
Join us for a community discussion on the path forward to protecting the sensitive Adirondack communities and landscapes we all cherish.
