The inauguration of President Obama in late January, and his public emphasis on tackling climate change, brought new urgency to the scientific work at the Cary Institute.
On January 14, a week before President Obama said Americans must respond to climate change in his inauguration speech, a draft of the 2013 National Climate Assessment (NCA) was released.
The Cary Institute's Environmental Monitoring Station instruments track air pollution, precipitation patterns, and solar radiation, among other things. These measurements provide a window into powerful storm systems, like Hurricane Sandy.
In appreciation of the Cary Institute’s most loyal donors, Irene and Jack Banning hosted the Aldo Leopold Society’s annual Autumn Celebration at Black Sheep Hill in Pine Plains on October 13, 2012.
