Title: Climate Change and New England
Abstract: The climate feedbacks at northern latitudes associated with land-atmosphere coupling are driving rapid climate change in New England. The winter season is shrinking most rapidly as spring is coming earlier and fall later by several days per decade. Adaptation to climate change has become a critical issue both for our built infrastructure, agriculture and for natural ecosystems.
