Lakes in Hot Water: A History of Climate Change in Lake

Join us for Lakes in Hot Water: A History of Climate Change in Lake, a compelling talk by Jay Austin, professor at the Large Lakes Observatory and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Drawing from over two decades of research on Lake Superior, Austin will explore how large lakes are changing over time—examining shifts in seasonality, ice cover, water levels, and ecosystem dynamics. His work blends science and storytelling, offering a deeper understanding of how climate change is reshaping the waters that define our region.

This live, in-person event will be held at the White Bear Lake Library on Monday, April 27, 2026, at 6:30 PM

Sustainable Stillwater MN (SSMN) is proud to help promote this event because it aligns closely with our mission to foster environmental awareness and community engagement around climate action. Lakes are central to our local identity and ecosystem health, and understanding the science behind their changes empowers our community to make informed, sustainable choices. By supporting educational opportunities like this, SSMN aims to connect people with knowledge, inspire stewardship, and strengthen regional collaboration around climate solutions.
