About this webinar:

In this two-part webinar series, we’ll dive into the why and how behind the changing climate and examine its effects on agriculture. 

In this first session, we’ll cover the basics of the climate system, including internal variability, external forcings, and warming feedbacks, as well as their influences on extreme weather events.

You’ll learn how climate change is expected to influence temperature in our region over the next several decades and how this will impact agriculture. We’ll also share some tools for adapting to changing temperature dynamics. 

Our speakers

• Rachel Schattman, Assistant Professor of Agriculture at the University of Maine
• Sara Kelemen, New England Soil Health Specialist at American Farmland Trust
• Sean Birkel, Research Assistant Professor at the University of Maine Extension 

This can be viewed as a standalone webinar, but we recommend that you watch the recording of the second webinar about precipitation dynamics for a more holistic understanding.
