For decades, scientists have been predicting that climate change would usher in an era of more intense and frequent storms and droughts. Was tropical storm Irene part of the big picture or just a particularly bad rainstorm? How are land use and settlement patterns in a community affected by flood events? What do climate models predict for the next 25, 50, or 100 years? How well can we really predict future weather patterns from these models? These questions and more are on the agenda for the first gathering of the Science Café series. Termly Farm Event Come check out the fall festivities at the Dartmouth Organic Farm's termly fall event!
