Recent research studying precipitation and drought trends in the Northeast.
This talk will present a literature review and research on how characteristics of precipitation and drought have been changing in the Northeast United States. The webinar presenters will discuss previous and new research on changes in the last several decades in precipitation and drought in the Northeast, including snowfall and the number of days with snow on the ground. The purpose of this is to observe what changes may already be happening related to anthropogenic global warming, as changes in snow, rain, and drought in this region may have far reaching effects moving forward.
