APWA-MN Fall Virtual Session #2 - Understanding MN's Changing Climate: Observations, Trends, and Projections

Time: 10 to 11 a.m. (45 minutes presentation with 15 minutes for Q&A)

 

 

Dr. Blumenfeld will provide a clear picture of how Minnesota’s climate is changing, and will lead an engaging discussion of the most important observations, trends, and expectations affecting Minnesota and its numerous natural and built resources. He will share some of the known and expected impacts to the public works sector, and will give examples of action from the Department of Natural Resources and other entities.  

 

Dr. Kenneth (“Kenny”) Blumenfeld is a climate scientist with the Minnesota State Climatology Office, where he provides the state’s agencies, communities, and citizens with up-to-date and scientifically accurate information about Minnesota’s changing and variable climate, and also oversees a network of weather monitoring stations. Kenny enjoys talking to Minnesotans about their weather, and often does it long after the workday is done.
