Cultural Organizations Summit: Preparing for Climate Impacts

Boulder Public Library - Main Library 1001 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder, CO, us

Climate change is accelerating and intensifying. All ten of the hottest years on record have occurred since 2005. The 2013 flood and 2021 Marshall Fire are just two examples of catastrophic impacts playing out close to home. We are approaching a critical juncture in confronting the climate crisis, and Boulder's arts and culture community has an important role to play. At our next summit of cultural nonprofit leadership, we will talk about the best ways for organizations to plan for and actively address climate impacts.

NSF NCAR Explorer Series “Inside a weather modeling system: What can go wrong?”

NCAR Mesa Lab 1850 Table Mesa Drive Boulder, CO 80305

In this Explorer Series Lecture, NSF NCAR scientist Dr. May Wong will share how a numerical weather prediction modeling system provides a prediction of future weather given initial atmospheric conditions. She will discuss the challenges behind forecasting the weather with models, as well as how scientists are working to improve our ability to make these predictions. These improvements are especially important as we plan for a world with more extreme weather conditions.
