Talk | Exploring the Water Cycle


Is the unusual weather we are experiencing part of a natural pattern, or are we experiencing a global change? Scientists study climate using weather patterns from around the globe, over a long period of time, to determine warming trends. Understanding our climate helps us prepare our city for a more sustainable future. The Urban Park Rangers will introduce you to these important scientific concepts that will help you prepare for the future. The Rangers' climate programs explore topics like climate change, global warming and concepts of sustainability. During the weather programs, we will dive deeply into everyday weather events including lightning and thunder, clouds and the water cycle, and hurricanes and extreme storms. All programs are lectures appropriate for all ages, and feature little or no walking.
