Cloud-Seeding Workshop

LIVESTREAM

Regional snow science experts will host a public cloud-seeding brown-bag lunch workshop on Friday, May 24, 2019, from noon to 4:30 p.m. at the Pitkin County Board of Commissioners office (530 E. Main Street) in Aspen. Lunch is at noon; program starts at 1 p.m. 

Friday’s workshop will provide educational information on longstanding cloud seeding operations in the central Rockies and recent proposals to expand the practice as a component of drought planning efforts in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Specific topics of discussion will include public and ecological safety, increasing local and regional Colorado River water supplies, and the economics of snowfall enhancement.
