Climate Change in the North Country
with Dr. Curt Stager
Thursday, March 2 at 6:00 p.m.
Climate change is about more than distant polar bears and rising sea levels. It is happening here, too. What changes are already under way, how do we know, and what changes may be coming in the future? Taking the long view with the help of geologic history and local records from our own home turf can help to answer such questions. It’s not all doom and gloom, fortunately, but one thing is certain: global warming has come to the North Country.

Dr. Curt Stager is a climate scientist, educator, and author whose research deals with the climatic and ecological histories of Africa and the Adirondacks. Since 1987 he has taught natural sciences at Paul Smith’s College, where he holds the Lussi Chair in Lake Ecology and Paleoecology.
