Changing Hydrology in Cities

• Keith Nislow, Northern Research Station
• Kimberly Grove, Baltimore City Department of Public Works

Heavy precipitation events in the Northeast and Midwest regions of the United States have increased in frequency and intensity over the past century. These hydrologic deviations are projected to continue with climate change and will substantially alter the landscapes we live in and value. Many of the extreme rainfall and flash flooding events experienced by communities in these regions have resulted in ecological, economic, and social consequences.

In this four-part webinar series, we dive into the latest research and management solutions from the Northern Research Station, the USDA Climate Hubs, and collaborators on issues related to extreme rain and flooding in forests, cities, and agricultural lands. Each webinar will feature research investigating the hydrological shifts brought about by climate change, its impacts on a focal landscape, and management challenges and solutions.

Each webinar will consist of presentations followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
