Climate Science at Northland College

We are studying climate in one of the best climates of the world--the Northwoods of Wisconsin on the shore of Lake Superior!

Our team in Regional Climate Change Solutions is using the Energy Star Portfolio Manager tool to
compare energy usage in the ELLC dorm on campus pre- and post-solar installation! Check out the home

It's the first day of astronomical summer (June 21 to Sept. 22)! Research shows high summertime temperatures are arriving earlier and lasting longer, throwing ecosystems off balance. This visualization shows what shifting seasons might look like up to year 2100. #FirstDayOfSummer

I stand with AGU in opposing today's SCOTUS ruling against the EPA: https://t.co/C4I0fDXCh1

Humans did this to me. Not trout, nor eagle, nor moose, but humans.

Without environmental protections humans will do this again. Remember, you need me to live, not the other way around.

Rain barrels are a great solution to increased heavy rains in our area: they prevent water runoff from harming our water supply. The Regional Climate Change Solutions class is helping to promote Ashland's annual rain barrel sale. Watch https://t.co/OgIJgkGMwv for details.

On Saturday 5/21, the Regional Climate Change Solutions class volunteered at the Marengo River to help restore flood damage from 2016. They helped plant 750 trees to boost canopy coverage and help with erosion.

The Regional Climate Change Solutions May Term class is working on verifying NC’s 2020 greenhouse gas emissions inventory. They are looking for any inaccuracies in the data and suggesting future ways we can improve the sustainability of our little school on the big lake!

When they are analyzed, the quality of the river will be assessed. This will help determine if water quality in the river was affected by flooding in recent years.

Volunteering makes a difference. (2/2)

On Saturday, May 14th, the Regional Climate Change Solutions class collected 125 aquatic invertebrates out of the Marengo River in support of Superior Rivers Watershed Association's spring macroinvertebrate sampling. (1/2)

Happy World Climate Teach-in Day! If you are in the area, please join us for panels and discussions tonight in the Alvord Theater at 7 pm.

I'm excited (and proud) to be taking part in AGU's inaugural Local Science Partners program to advance science policy in the US. Learn more here: https://t.co/Cd0g2jfL3D

Today we released our 2021 temperature data from @BerkeleyEarth. It was the 6th warmest year on record, (5th for land, 7th for oceans). 25 countries and 1.8 billion people saw the warmest year on record.

If the rate of warming continues we will pass 1.5C in 2033 and 2C in 2059.

The recent eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha-apai won't have the cooling effect that Mt Pinatubo did. Here's more about that and some other science snippets: https://t.co/weDBq59RlD

A quick take on corn and climate from @NASAEarth Observatory: https://t.co/FiGUegPLj0 We have been looking at all of these topics in a new course this fall, Climate Change and Food.

What is your campus planning related to #COP26 ? Students here want to plan something and need ideas. Show us your teach-ins, panels, forums, etc.

[Dann Mitchell @ClimateDann]

Booking my travel for #COP26 - £330 (16hrs) for a return on the train. £46 (2hrs) for a return on the airplane. Really not an ideal situation given the main COP agenda is how we reach #NetZero. I'll be sure to mention this to every UK politician I bump into there #ClimateCrisis

Autumnal phenology is fascinating in its complexity and beauty. I love this time of year! https://t.co/KOdMYhmRGU

Northland College students recently partnered with researchers at GLIFWC to analyze impacts of the proposed reroute to Enbridge's Line 5 pipeline. This article explains why partnerships like these are important: https://t.co/wjvjf5zC1W
