MN CliMAT, an MNSG funded interactive online tool, allows Minnesotans to access highly localized climate projections, including temperature, precipitation, ice cover, soil moisture and 30+ other variables. This tool and the data it provides allows Minnesotans to receive localized information to make locally relevant decisions and prepare for the effects of a changing climate. Users can view projections down to the 2.5-mile scale, visualizing how even towns may be impacted in the coming decades.
In this webinar, participants will have the chance to learn about future climate information for Minnesota and how to use the MN CliMAT tool within the arrowhead region of Minnesota. While primarily focused on Minnesota, MN CliMAT also includes projections and data for the majority of Wisconsin.
TPCC is a monthly opportunity for community dialogue about questions of climate change. TPCC covers different topics monthly, focusing on perspectives of climate change impacts, adaptation responses, and opportunities for mitigation and resilience. Join the conversation.
