Sustainable Loudoun's Climate Discussion Series with Dr. Jennifer Francis

Dr. Francis of Rutgers University will discuss analyses that demonstrate links between recent

warming in the Arctic with changes in mid-latitude weather patterns. 

Evidence suggests that Arctic amplification has contributed to an

increase in large-scale wave amplitude and slower zonal winds.  Both of

these trends in turn contribute to persistent weather patterns in

mid-latitudes, such as the mid Atlantic region where we live.  Prolonged

weather conditions are often associated with extreme weather, such as

droughts, cold spells, heat waves, and some flooding events, which have

become more frequent in recent years.

Doors open at 6:00 with music and networking and program begins at 7pm;
