Washington’s Climatologist Presents Climate Impact on Salmon at NCRL Branches

A handful of North Central Regional Library branches will feature the Washington state climatologist, Nick Bond, to share, “Are Salmon Doomed? Hatching a Plan to Save a Northwest Icon”. Bond will rotate from Oroville, Grand Coulee, Omak, Entiat and Peshastin libraries to discuss the impacts of warming oceans and environmental degradation on salmon populations in February.

"Nick's presentation is about the fundamental role salmon play in the Pacific Northwest," said Amanda Brack, adult services manager. "During his program in our libraries, he will explore the past, present and future of salmon in our state."

Bond has a PhD from University of Washington in atmospheric sciences and serves as the principal research scientist at the Joint Institute for the Study of Atmosphere and Ocean with the College of the Environment.

"We're so looking forward to hearing from our state expert on the subject and it's the Humanities Washington presentation and those speakers are always the highest quality," said Brack
