Hi all, In the past year we have (finally) successfully gotten a state climate office in Tennessee! It is currently housed at ETSU, but with board members (including yours truly) across the state. I would like to share three pieces of news with you from the office: 1. On May 25th the office will host a Climate Data Summit and all are invited to attend. Please see the attached advertisement for more information, including how to register. 2. The board is also working to put together a conference on weather and climate research in Tennessee. This will likely take place in July, and will be a great place to see/share some of climate-related work we are doing in the state and network with others in this field. I will send more information about the conference once it is developed. 3. If you would like to receive monthly reports on the state’s climate, email the office ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) to be added to the list. I have attached the March report as an example.
