The Reshaping of New England’s Seasons: What’s happening to our weather?

The New England Aquarium’s Lowell Lecture Series hosts an in-depth conversation with New England’s top weather and climate science leaders in partnership with The Boston Globe and hosted by Globe Lead Meteorologist Ken Mahan. New England’s seasons are shifting dramatically because of climate change—warmer winters, erratic springs, hotter summers, and muted autumns—as bouts of extreme weather become more prevalent. These increasingly unpredictable weather patterns are redefining our region’s identity, blurring the lines between our distinctive seasons. We’ll explore the science behind these changes to help us better understand what’s happening.

This New England Aquarium Lowell Lecture Series event is presented in partnership with The Boston Globe through the generosity of the Lowell Institute. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the program starts at 6:30 p.m.
