Weather Wonders Series

Hear from Blue Hill Observatory weather observer and graduate student in atmospheric science Amanda Joly about the unique characteristics of Severe Weather and Flooding, with a particular emphasis on their effects in the Blue Hills region. Find out how it relates to Trail Stewardship and the Blue Hills Communities. Flooding and severe weather events can disrupt local ecosystems, altering habitats and impacting wildlife populations. These changes can lead to shifts in biodiversity, affect water quality, and damage natural resources that communities rely on for both environmental health and economic stability. Flooding can damage trails, eroding paths and disrupting access to natural areas, which not only affects recreational activities but also hinders conservation efforts and environmental education.

There will time devoted to a Q&A at the end of the program.
