How has anthropogenic climate change altered temperature and precipitation patterns in the Salish Sea bioregion? What further changes do global climate models project for our region over the 21st century? Dr. Flower will answer these questions with analyses and maps from the forthcoming Salish Sea Climate Assessment Report. Climate change has already altered temperature and precipitation patterns around the globe, and these effects are projected to intensify over the 21st century. While this is a global phenomenon, the rate and specific patterns of change vary regionally. Locally focused analyses such as this project are therefore crucial for understanding and preparing for regional climatic changes.
This work is being done as part of Dr. Flowers' Salish Sea Fellowship.
