Learn about the impacts of climate change on Crater Lake - 'the world's largest rain gauge'
As part of our Crater Lake Reflections lecture series, the Trust is partnering with NW Natural to present a free public event exploring the impacts of global climate change on Crater Lake National Park.
Crater Lake has no inlets or outlets, leading some scientists to call it "the world's largest rain gauge." This event will explore the current and potential future impacts of global warming on Crater Lake National Park; steps being taken by the National Park Service to reduce or mitigate those impacts, and steps we each can take to reduce its degradation.
The speaker will be Mr. Kelly Redmond, Regional Climatologist and Deputy Director of the Western Regional Climate Center at the Desert Research Institute.
This project was made possible in part by a grant from Oregon Humanities (OH), a statewide nonprofit organization and an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which funds OH’s grant program. Additional funding and support was provided by the Jackson Foundation and NW Natural.
Refreshments will be served. While the event is free of charge, space is limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Please register online, or call us at (541) 708-5125. We are also looking for a few volunteers to help with the event; contact our volunteer coordinator if you are interested.
