Understanding Minnesota's Climate: Observations, Trends and Projections

Minnesota’s climate is famous for its ups, downs, and extremes, but is also experiencing changes unlike anything we have observed previously. Dr. Kenneth (“Kenny”) Blumenfeld, a climate scientist for the Minnesota State Climatology Office (Department of Natural Resources), will break down trends in the regional climate and how these changes differ from other parts of the continent and world. We’ll discuss future climate scenarios, and the implications for actual climatic conditions here in Minnesota. Collaborator: Minneapolis Community Education.
