Climate Events

A selection of climate-related events from around Penn State and beyond.

 11:00am - 12:00pm  Online  Full details
Extreme hydrologic events, such as floods and droughts, are becoming ever more common as hydrometeorological drivers shift in response to a changing climate. In the first part of this talk, we outline how climate change affects extreme events in both water quantity and quality, specifically floods, droughts, and extreme water temperatures. In the second part of this talk, we will discuss the effects of such extreme events on water quality. Our capacity to monitor and predict the effects of hydrologic extremes on water quality is closely tied to the resolution of our observational datasets.

 All day  The Eric J. Barron Innovation Hub  Full details
PERC, in cooperation with Penn State Sustainability, is hosting this one-day conference event at the Eric J. Barron Innovation Hub in State College, PA. Today, we recognize Pennsylvania's role in working to meet our country's NDC, among other commitments, and the function HEIs serve in supporting that endeavor. With over 60 Commonwealth institutions' sustainability leaders invited, PERC looks forward to providing a day of sustainability programming via speaker presentations, a workshop session, and guest keynote speaker.
