The future of Adirondack climate
The Adirondack region is warming, and it is likely to continue to do so for centuries. But climate models conflict on whether it will be a wetter or drier future. What can climate history tell us about that future?
This site shows some of what we've found so far.
It also shows how you can help to support this low-cost, high-impact research in rural upstate New York, bringing global climate science down to the local level.
