Benjamin Hatchett from UNR’s Nevada State Climate Office will be speaking Dec. 4 at the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences on the campus of Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village.

Past climates in the region characterized by ice ages or droughts leave clues that are etched into the mountain slopes. These records remain today for people to uncover in the field, laboratory, and through computer modeling efforts.

Hatchett will share ongoing weather and climate research in the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin and how it shapes scientists’ understanding of the greater Earth system.

The program will begin at 6 pm. Cost is $5.

    Why bother driving to Incline, we’ve got plenty of climate experts right here on the LTN forum.
