Summary of Amy’s talk: 

With the risks of a changing climate increasingly obvious, the urgency to both reduce emissions and prepare for global warming’s inevitable impacts has never been greater. Dr. Amy Snover, Director of the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group and University Director of the US Geological Survey Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, will describe the current state of scientific understanding of how climate change is likely to affect the land, waters and people of Cascadia, and how our current choices and actions determine the level of risk ultimately facing communities in and beyond our region.
