Jacqueline J. Shinker, Associate Professor of Geography, College of A&S, at University of Wyoming, presented Climate, Drought and Water in the West to lifelong learners at the Fall 2015 Saturday U. The event took place at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, WY on October 10, 2015. The intermountain west contains eight of the ten driest states in the country. Much of our water resources in the region are dependent upon the natural reservoirs of seasonal mountain snowpack. Costly droughts in the region impact water resources for agriculture, energy, recreation, and municipalities. This presentation provides context for recent droughts and the impacts of climate on past, present, and future water resources in the West. Saturday University is a collaborative program connecting popular University of Wyoming professors with Wyoming residents who have a desire to learn. Saturday University is sponsored by the University of Wyoming, University of Wyoming Foundation and the Wyoming Humanities Council. The program is presented locally by Central Wyoming College and the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Saturday U is free and open to the public.
