A trove of daily weather recordings in New York State spanning 200 years has recently been rediscovered, and it offers new insights into our climate past, present, and future. On May 3, join acclaimed local ecologists Conrad Vispo, Anna Duhon, Kerissa Fuccillo Battle, and Anton Seimon for a presentation about this first-of-its-kind historical meteorological data. The program will be followed by a Q&A session to address the climate questions that continue to puzzle us.
After the presentation, Kerissa Fuccillo Battle and Anna Duhon will lead an instructive nature walk to teach others how to create a phenology trail, demonstrating methods to observe and record the timing of seasonal events in plants and animals, to advance our understanding of nature and help detect changes over time.
