Northeast Climate Science Center Seminar Series: Webinar - N.A. - (Amherst, MA)

Keith Nislow of UMass Amherst and NE CSC will speak about "Drought in the Northeast and Implications for Ecosystems." This talk is part of "Engaging Stakeholders in Climate Adaptation", a webinar series presented by the Northeast Climate Science Center. The Northeastern and Midwestern United States is generally considered a well-watered region, yet droughts have happened in the past due to large-scale changes in atmospheric circulation. As recently as the 1960s and 1980s, widespread drought was experienced in this Northeast region. It is predicted that drought conditions in the region will become more prevalent as climate change influences temperature and precipitation patterns throughout the region. In collaboration with the Department of the Interior Climate Science Centers (CSCs) and their managing organization, the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center at the U.S. Geological Survey, Ecological Drought has emerged as a research focus area for the CSCs.
