Missouri River Basin Climate Extremes, Trends and Climate Change Webinar: June 27, 2023

Recent trends in the Missouri River Basin have generally noted an increase in extreme events, including record rainfall, flooding, drought, and increased temperatures. On this webinar, experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Drought Mitigation Center, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers discussed these trends in the Basin. The final presentation examined whether recent runoff trends are attributable to climate change, variability, or some combination of both.

Note: In this webinar recording, we have edited out the presentation on drought trends because the speaker later found out that some of the data they used was not completely accurate. If you have any questions, please contact Doug Kluck (Doug.kluck@noaa.gov).
