About the Event

 

Join us for an in-depth conversation with New England's top weather and climate science leaders in partnership with the Aquarium’s Lowell Lecture Series, hosted by Globe Lead Meteorologist Ken Mahan. New England’s seasons are shifting dramatically because of climate change — warmer winters, erratic springs, hotter summers, and muted autumns — as bouts of extreme weather become more prevalent. These increasingly unpredictable weather patterns are redefining our region’s identity, blurring the lines between our distinctive seasons. We’ll explore the science behind these changes to help us better understand what’s happening.
