Donald Wilhite, professor at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s School of Natural Resources, leads a panel discussion on the issues surrounding our changing climate, with panelists Robert Oglesby, Clinton Rowe and Deborah Bathke, all UNL faculty members in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.

Current and projected changes in the climate extend beyond temperature increases and include changes in precipitation amounts, seasonal distribution and frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. The increasing frequency of extreme weather events raises serious concerns for all nations due to economic, social and environmental costs associated with responding to, recovering from and preparing for these events.

The Heuermann Lecture will coincide with the release of a report on climate change compiled by these UNL faculty members. Copies of the report will be available at the lecture and on-line following the lecture. One of the goals of this report is to identify the key challenges associated with climate change for the state and potential actions to adapt to our changing climate.
