[August 23, 2022]
The Elkhart Historical Society is pleased to announce
that Eric Snodgrass, who is a Science Fellow, Principal Atmospheric
Scientist for Nutrien Ag Solutions, will be our featured speaker for our
August 26, 2022 dinner lecture. Weather, which used to be a reasonably
safe topic of conversation, can now be quite controversial, but at the
same time is undeniably a huge factor in everyone’s life unless you live
in an aquarium.
In his talk, “High Impact Meteorology,” Snodgrass will talk about
high-impact weather events (like tornadoes, derechos, and flash
floods/droughts) which have cost over $2 Trillion since 1980.
Thankfully, advances in weather modeling and observations have led to
earlier warning times, and it is rare that severe weather events catch
us off guard.
