Seasons of Change: Global Warming in Your Backyard
This exhibit explores some of the specific regional impacts from global climate change. You know that climate change is taking place when you can see it happening in your own backyard. More rain, less snow. More severe storms and flooding. More heat waves. More smog. More severe asthma and allergies. More mosquitoes. What changes will you welcome the least? What invasive plant species will be coming to your backyard? How is global warming transforming our forests? Are the oceans becoming more acidic? How is the blue crab’s life cycle affected by global warming?

Our Expanding Oceans
Blending art and science into a comprehensive educational experience, Our Expanding Oceans will amaze, inspire, and inform. Artist Mary Edna Fraser and geologist Orrin Pilkey explore the major elements of global climate change with an emphasis on melting ice and rising seas. More than 60 dyed silk batiks depict aerial, satellite, and cartographic perspectives of our environment, producing stunning panoramas permeated with color. Written interpretation by Fraser and Pilkey accompanies the large scale silks.
