Mountain Studies Institute and Maria’s Bookshop will host a virtual conversation with author Laura Paskus about her book “At the Precipice” from 6:40 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday via Zoom.
“At the Precipice” explores the question: “What kind of world are we leaving to our children?” In New Mexico and the larger Southwest, climate change has been silently wreaking havoc: Average temperatures in the Upper Rio Grande Basin are increasing at double the global average, super fires like Las Conchas have devastated mountains and sections of the Rio Grande are drying up.
Paskus has tracked the issues of climate change at both the state and federal levels. She will share information about what is happening in nature and what is not happening to counteract the mounting crisis.
Pakus is an environmental journalist and a correspondent. She is the producer of New Mexico In Focus’ series “Our Land: New Mexico’s Environmental Past, Present and Future.”
