UNDERSTANDING WEATHER AND TRACKING CLIMATE CHANGE

The interrelationships between plants, people, wildlife, habitats, and local weather significantly shape our everyday experiences and the ecological adaptations we observe in nature. Join Tom Alena, Meteorologist for Talcott Mountain Science Center in Avon, CT, to learn about local and regional weather patterns, and to understand their implications – both now and in the future. The class will introduce participants to instruments that are used by professionals and amateurs to track changes in the weather. If you are interested in starting your own weather station or know someone who is, this course will serve as a great introduction. Dress for the weather!
