Canada has a long\u00a0scientific heritage in weather and climate observations. Letters, diaries and weather records from the 18th and 19th centuries tell us not only about the weather, but about the people, \u00a0relationships and networks that existed in North America and Europe. They reveal the history of theories\u00a0about\u00a0weather and climate change in Canada as far back as the 1740s.<\/p>\n

These records are not only interesting for the history of science: they\u2019re also used in current scientific research. Millions\u00a0of weather observations have been transcribed thanks to citizen science during the 2010s: analysis of these observations for the St-Lawrence Valley region reveals some surprising results for climatic change and variability, extreme events and hazardous weather.<\/p>\n

Biography:<\/h4>\n

Victoria Slonosky is an historical climatologist. She is currently leading McGill\u2019s Data Rescue: Archives and Weather (DRAW) interdisciplinary citizen science project and is an affiliated member of McGill\u2019s Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Montreal. Her book,\u00a0Climate in the Age of Empire: Weather Observers in Colonial Canada<\/em>, tells the story of Canada\u2019s scientific heritage in the field of climatology.<\/p>\n

This event is part of the 2023 Shannon Lecture series on Climate Histories.<\/h3>\n\n
