Dr Jen Purdie from the University of Otago will help us understand what exactly an El Nino is, what makes this year’s one “super” and how it is different from previous El Ninos. We will hear about the likely impacts on Otago, Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally, and learn what this has to do with climate change. The talk will be 40 minutes, followed by Q&A. If you would like to attend but can't be with us in person, the event will be live streamed via Zoom - simply select your attendance option when you register.
