Steve Vavrus, State Climatologist and Co-director Wisconsin Initiative

This week in Memorial Hall, Steve Vavrus, Senior Scientist at UW–Madison, shared how Wisconsin's climate is rapidly changing, with the past two decades being the warmest on record and the 2010s the wettest. Drawing on work from the State Climatology Office and WICCI, he highlighted major trends, extreme weather impacts, and what these shifts mean for the state's future.
