Throughout time, these processes have changed, and the recent increase in frequency and severity requires risk assessment and planning- towards a positive, collaborative future. Join climate scientist Dr. Kimberley Rain Miner as she discusses what's happening and why, and how you can be a collaborator towards a sustainable future!
