River Days of Action Lunch and Learn #2:
Climate Science Needs on the Mississippi River: How does climate change impact the Mississippi River? How does the Mississippi River impact climate change?
Extreme natural disaster events are occurring more frequently in our Mississippi River basin, and the costs associated with extreme events will continue to rise. In 2020, the U.S. saw an average annual loss of $32 billion from flooding, and that cost could rise by up to $41 billion by 2050, according to a study published in Nature. But have you thought about how the management of the Mississippi River affects climate change? Join Olivia Dorothy, River Restoration Director with American Rivers, to explore not only how climate change is impacting communities – and especially communities of color – along the Mississippi River, but also how the Mississippi River is contributing to climate change. This presentation is adapted from a USGS forum and will highlight specific research needs and questions.
- Thursday, June 15th, 12 – 1 pm CT
